The Impact of an Education Like this Lasts a Lifetime

Some experiences are so meaningful and transformative that they naturally inspire us to share them. Each day, I see examples of how Saul Mirowitz Jewish Community School is more than a place of learning. We are a community where students grow into confident, thoughtful, and engaged individuals.

At Mirowitz, education is not about memorization—it’s about discovery. We teach students  how to learn, preparing them for life beyond the classroom.

Whether they’re designing 3D models of human body systems, collaborating with another student on writing a prayer, building circuits, or studying ecosystems in our outdoor learning labs, hands-on experiences help them develop critical thinking and creativity. As  St. Louis Magazine highlighted in an article published on February 27, 2025, our students explore science and sustainability in real-world settings—from a pond and prairie to a compost bin and chicken coop. These spaces aren’t just about science; they foster curiosity, problem-solving, and a deep connection to the world around them.

Beyond academics, Mirowitz is a place where students feel valued and supported. We have seen children arrive uncertain and leave confidently, strengthened by a school culture that views kindness as a sign of strength.

A strong Jewish identity and the skills needed to navigate an ever-changing world with purpose and pride are nurtured here. I know you love our school community, which is here to support and to celebrate with you. We are focused on increasing the impact we have in our community. Consider sharing our story if you know a family looking for a rigorous, nurturing education that blends tradition with innovation. The impact of an education like this lasts a lifetime.

L’shalom,
