COMPLEX LEARNING DISABILITIES AND AN INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION
Brehm School is dedicated to educating and empowering students with complex learning disabilities, helping them to reach their full potential.
Brehm is a coeducational boarding school that utilizes a holistic approach which not only addresses the academic needs of the student, but the social and emotional needs as well. We are more than a traditional boarding school that provides structure and education. Students at Brehm discover and capitalize on their strengths, and they utilize those strengths in minimizing their challenges. Brehm’s focus is to enable its students to become lifelong learners and successful active participants in our communities and our workforce.
We prepare our students for life.
Why a Boarding School for Some Children with Learning Disabilities
It’s not a parent’s first choice to send their children away to a boarding school, but many realize such a school can provide the opportunities that they cannot. Children don’t attend school every day wanting to fail, but when they do fail, they often fall farther and farther behind their peers. Students become anxious, withdrawn, and angry, possibly giving up activities that they once found enjoyable. The stressors involved at school and at home begin to affect everyone in the family. Suddenly, the child has a combination of issues, both academic and emotional. Before long, these issues affect social relationships. Then, it becomes a complex problem.
The holistic approach, multisensory teaching methods, learning how to learn, self-discovery, development of analytical skills, and feeling empowered are all part of the Brehm model and are invaluable in the journey toward independence and self-reliance
