Welcome to Brehm School a small, fully accredited,
not-for-profit coeducational boarding school with a staff of

partnership with families just like yours, Brehm has been
successfully teaching students with language-based and complex
learning disabilities to "learn how to learn." Our "family style"
24/7 school is uniquely designed to foster independence
andresponsibility. Where other schools have failed students, Brehm
delivers success.
Brehm students go on to college, find fulfilling careers and become
successful entrepreneurs.
Brehm has more than twenty-five years of experience in learning
disabilities education. This experience has shown that a boarding
school environment is the most effective way for students with
learning disabilities to achieve their full potential. Brehm offers
extensive individualized support to monitor and care for students
after their academic day is finished. After school tutoring is
available if needed or requested by parents, and an assortment of
activities are scheduled for students after their school day. In
recognition of this specialized program, the U.S. Department of
Education named Brehm School a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
Brehm was the only boarding school to be honored.
Brehm School is a private boarding school for students with
learning disabilities. Our mission is to empower students with
complex learning disabilities and differences to recognize
and optimize their potential throughout their lifetime. Brehm
employs a holistic approach by evaluating the individual needs of
each student throughout the academic year. Students enrolled at
Brehm School have various learning disabilities from dyslexia,
ADHD/ADD, aphasia, aspergers, nonverbal learning disorders (NLD),
visual processing, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, anxiety disorder,
auditory processing disorder, speed of processing disorders, and
dysphasia. Brehm's diverse staff customizes a program for each
student's needs, which makes Brehm a leading innovator among
schools for learning disabilities. To help students achieve their
goals, Brehm faculty trains students to use assistive software such
as Dragon Naturally Speaking, Kurzweil 3000, My Reading Coach, Fast
ForWord, and Inspiration.
Brehm's faculty and staff are especially trained to educate
students with nonverbal learning disability challenges.
Administration manages student enrollment so that faculty and staff
have the time and resources to give students individualized
support. Classroom sizes range from just one to eight students per
class. Brehm's administration team also continuously researches
student learning disabilities, which is a primary reason that so
many of Brehm's graduating LD students continue their education
after graduation.
Private schools for LD students are often the only way that
children with learning disabilities get a chance to discover what
they are truly capable of doing with their lives. The truth is that
most public and private schools are unable to give students with
learning disabilities the help they need. Schools for learning
disability students, on the other hand, are set up with small
classes and a great deal of individual attention. At Brehm School
each student receives individualized instruction that provides the
strategies and techniques to overcome his or her specific
challenges.
