October 6 | 1pm–3pm | Olivette & Webster Groves Campus
“I think the hardest part of having a child with a learning difference of any kind is the fight: The fight for services. The fight for people to understand who your child is and what they need. The fight for knowledge, because knowledge is power. And the quiet fight you have within yourself wondering if you’ve left no stone unturned.”
Discover a community dedicated to empowering neurodivergent students at Miriam School and Learning Center. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, our school is renowned for its personalized approach to education, supporting students with diverse learning needs including ADHD, autism, speech/language disorders, anxiety, specific learning disabilities, and sensory processing differences.
At Miriam, you don’t have to fight an uphill battle.
We believe every child's journey is unique and deserving of individualized support. Whether your child is just beginning their educational path or transitioning into high school, our strength-based approach caters to their academic, social, and emotional growth. Join us at our upcoming Open House on October 6 to explore our campuses, meet our passionate educators, and learn how Miriam transforms challenges into opportunities for success.

Miriam Parent
Miriam understands the needs of kids who learn differently! At public school, I was made to feel like I was just an overprotective mother. At Miriam, they understood and agreed that my child needed extra help and wasn’t just lazy.

Miriam was the only school that was willing and able to positively address and be keenly focused on my child's needs and met him where he was.
