About Us

Miriam is the premier educational hub for children with learning differences in the St. Louis area. We empower unique learners by building confidence and a foundation for success at our K-12 school, as well as through our outreach programs. Our students’ challenges often include specific learning disabilities, ADHD, level 1 autism, speech/language disorders, anxiety and sensory processing differences.

Why Miriam?

Because not all great minds think alike. We meet students where they are, taking a strengths-based approach to a truly individualized education.
