We maintain small class sizes so teachers can attend to each student's skills and needs. What might look like a class of 12 students is really 12 classes of one student! At Mirowitz, small class sizes ensure that children have opportunities to work individually with teachers and learning specialists, and that they are challenged to the level of their ability.

Studies show that Jewish day school graduates express an extraordinary sense of responsibility towards helping those in need and effecting social change. At Mirowitz, our students understand their obligation as citizens of the world. They know from experience that social action is easy, it’s possible and it’s Jewish.

Independent schools focus on raising children, not test scores. It turns out that a curriculum that encourages deep thinking, problem solving and intellectual risk taking also prepares students for success…on standardized tests, in competitive high school environments and in life! Our students typically exceed Missouri standards by at least a grade level in all curricular areas.

Jewish day school graduates are more resistant to social pressures that lead to risky behaviors than their public and private school peers. Our students develop a moral compass, a sense of integrity and the ability to make decisions based on Jewish values.

At Mirowitz, we believe that the most meaningful learning moments should not be reserved for children with the highest IQ. Small class sizes allow for extensions and differentiated learning. We do not need to pull children out of the classroom for gifted programs.

Jewish day school students emerge with a knowledge of prayer, and a commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. Mirowitz’s daily celebration of Judaism instills both Jewish pride and the ability to see the world through Jewish eyes.

Neuro-scientific research suggests that at a young age, children have a greater capacity to learn a foreign language. At Mirowitz, the language we learn is the language of our heritage.

Our students study ivrit b’ivrit (Hebrew in Hebrew) every day, and learn to read, write and speak competently. In 5th grade, they go on a camping trip where they speak only Hebrew for 36 hours.
