​

• Special Needs: Mirus accepts students with physical, emotional, and educational challenges in the “mild to moderate” range, as long as that student is on grade level, does not require modified curriculum, has age-appropriate social skills, and is otherwise a good fit for Mirus’s unique learning environment.
