When my son was little, Christmas was a hard time of year for him. The expectations of the holidays, the over stimulation, change of routine, location, and diet made things challenging. There were multiple years that it felt like he lost out on the Christmas joy because he was on sensory overload. Nothing seemed to go well. He fell apart, my husband and I would have whispered fights about what to do while family members would try to help by inserting themselves in the situation or by staying away. I can still feel hot tears sliding down my face as I fought with my own emotions while trying to help my child feel better, on what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of the year.

A one-size education may not fit all; that’s where Miriam School and Learning Center can help

Not every child is built to sit for hours inside a classroom and be taught in a way that may not work for them.

They get small class sizes, a personalized curriculum, special educators, and a welcoming environment.

We knew Miriam was the right place for our daughter right away. She immediately connected with the other students, and was warmly welcomed by the teachers and staff.  It was clear this was the high school for her.

We are finally in an environment where the staff ‘gets it.’ They understand that every child is a unique learner, and they work hard to cater to the needs of each child with individualized learning plans.
