Experiential Learning Program

During out-of-school learning experiences, students speak for themselves, ask questions, follow directions, and practice making decisions.

Students learn to navigate conflict and change, practice problem-solving, and gain an understanding of the world beyond high school.

Students will have many opportunities to experience new skills and situations, explore their passions and hobbies, and gain self-awareness and confidence in their abilities.

The Experiential Learning Program will supplement Miriam’s small class sizes, integrated therapy services, and individualized curriculum to provide a truly well-rounded experience.

Students will develop practical job skills needed to obtain and maintain jobs or volunteer opportunities, while exploring their personal interests. They’ll learn how to work as part of a team, and gain time and project management skills.

Miriam is working with a number of partners within the community who are welcoming to our students and open to helping them during this journey. We will continue to seek out more businesses and organizations that will provide such opportunities. Our current partners include Access Point Program, AGC of Missouri, Dream Big, Project Success, Ranken Technical Institute, Schnucks, Skills Center, and STEP-UP Program. If you’d like to become a community partner, contact Meg Bamford at mbamford@miriamstl.org or call our Business Office at 314-968-3893.
