"I am a student of Mirman. IT IS AWESOME!!! The only reason that I could see you don't like it is if you want teacher to do everything for you. If you want that go to campbell hall and see where that gets you ^.^ Anyway, if your child doesn't feel challenged, thats because they aren't moving him up, and that is because your child's grades aren't proving he or she is ready. I hope you come to Mirman. The athletics are a bit rusty, however. I enjoy Mirman because their is such a mix in subjects.If you child has an IQ of over about 150. NOT EINSTIEN, HE IS THE HIGHEST OF ALL TIME, 190. That part is to the meanie who only takes his or her sons advice about Mirman. the one one star giver."

"My kids each attended Mirman and there has never been a question that it was well worth the time and money sending them there. They will tell you that they had the best teachers and best academic experience of their entire schooling (and that's including their later Ivy League experiences). As a parent, what meant the most to me was how safe, comfortable and understood they felt. This was a place where they felt like they belonged and where they were able to grow and discover themselves without fear of being labeled odd or difficult. If you have a highly gifted child, you should move heaven and earth to get them into this school. They will never forget it."

"I'll make this quick. It comes down to two things. One, the kids at Mirman are smart and are treated as such. Two, the staff at Mirman are simply their to guide, not really teach. This formula works great if you have a kid that really wants to learn in a certain area, but if your kid doesn't want to focus as much in another area. You will see a problem."

"We considered other schools within the public and private sector and with extensive research, long conversations with all of my son's past educators and with professionals who deal with kids, Mirman was the best choice for our child. In starting our second year at Mirman, I can now fully appreciate why I was given this advice by so many others. The school teaches you and your child how to really use and apply the brains they are born with so that they grow into full, happy adults who are very comfortable in their own skin. I see my son challenged academically and see him (and us) supported and guided in all aspects of his emotional growth too. Mirman embraces the "who" of your child in addition to "what" your child was born with. We are so happy with the diversity, warmth and guidance from the school and all parents as a whole. Darned right you see lost of reviews for such a small school. Those of us who ended up here has lots to be thankful for and are not shy to tell everyone else about it."

"Please note that the reason there are so many reviews of Mirman on this website is that it represents the passionate and polarized feelings regarding a school that is for a very select group of children. The expectations of parents for special treatment of their "genius" children (and there are many children who score above Einstein's IQ at Mirman - that is not a calling card) are way out of proportion to what any group learning environment can provide. If you want a collegiate environment, figure that out. If you want 4 languages, hire a tutor. Send Jr. to college at age 6 or 9. Many people with exceptionally and profoundly gifted children do. However, if you track those same children at age 25, not many are saving the word from cancer or developing new biotechnology. And certainly if their role models are trashing a school where people are doing their best to help gifted children in the best way they know how, that child is not likely to offer much to the world other than IQ alone. Einstein was, by all reports, a kind man."
