Miriam School

Miriam School is a K-12 day school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving students with learning differences. Enrollment runs between 100 and 200 students, keeping the community small enough that every faculty member knows every child by name. Students present with specific learning disabilities, ADHD, level 1 autism, speech and language disorders, anxiety, and sensory processing differences.

Teaching here looks nothing like a general education setting. Faculty build individualized plans for students who have often struggled in traditional classrooms. That work means daily coordination with speech-language pathologists, special educators, and social-emotional learning staff — not just at annual reviews. Small class sizes give teachers direct influence over each student's progress.

Miriam School also runs outreach programs that extend its expertise across the broader Saint Louis region. Staff who want impact beyond their own classroom will find this dimension worth considering. Spanish instruction runs K-12, so language teaching roles appear in the hiring mix as well.

Financially, the school reported roughly $11.5 million in revenue and over $26 million in net assets as of 2023. Its ranking trajectory is currently classified as flourishing. Schools with strong balance sheets are better positioned to offer competitive salaries and sustained benefits — a useful signal for candidates weighing long-term job security in Missouri's independent school market.

Open roles typically include classroom teaching, special education, speech-language pathology, administration, and program support. Because the school is small, each hire shapes culture in a visible way. Tenure tends to run long, and departures are noticeable. For educators seeking intensive, relationship-centered day school work with students who learn differently, Miriam School stands out as a rare and focused environment in Saint Louis.
