Every day at Miriam School and Learning Center, students are not only learning academics - they’re learning how to learn. That process relies on something called executive function: the brain’s ability to plan, organize, remember information, manage emotions and get things done.

I watched my daughter Jaden slowly slip through the cracks of the public school system. She couldn’t read, write, or do basic math, yet year after year, she was moved ahead simply because she had an IEP.

Daytona was told a high school diploma was out of reach. She heard she would never make it through the English and math requirements. Her mom, Lisa, believed she could do it, so she transferred her from the small, Catholic special education school to a public high school. Drama and bullying enveloped Daytona. She and her entire family were in crisis.

Miriam High School is excited to announce that it is now a full member of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA), which opens up the opportunity for Miriam students to play sports with a partner team.
Today I was reminded of the lasting connections cast here when I had the privilege of giving one of our alumni, Isaac, and his father a tour of our Lower/Middle School Campus. Isaac is now considering a career in special education and is seeking a volunteer opportunity with us.

Good education has always been a top priority of mine, because I am a certified teacher (now stay-at-home mom) and had studied in college how important early childhood education and experiences really are. We bought a house in a good school district before we even had kids.
As the colors of fall begin to brighten our days, we see the same kind of transformation happening at Miriam. For many of our new students, this is the first place where they feel true belonging and confidence. It is inspiring to watch their strengths and passions emerge within our community.
