School Structure
Mirman is one of a handful of schools for the highly gifted (IQ of 145 or above) in the United States. Instead of having traditional grade levels, Mirman School consists of a lower school and an upper school; the lower containing rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and the upper consisting of four years. Each lower school classroom contains approximately 18 students in Rooms 1 to 25 students in Rooms 5. Some of these students leave after the second year of Upper School and matriculate to a conventional seventh grade class. However, the administration of the school encourages students to stay through Fourth Year Upper School when they can matriculate to either 9th or 10th grade, or in some instances seek early admission to various colleges.

Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
