students with learning disabilities and differences to recognize
and optimize their potential. Our caring, highly qualified faculty

new learning environment brimming with optimism. Working quickly to
break down barriers, build trust, and rebuild self-confidence, they
embrace students in a nurturing boarding school environment where
each child feels accepted and supported.Brehm recognizes that
each student is unique and must find his or her individual pathway
to academic, social, and emotional success. Following a careful
review of the student`s data and academic history, an
Individualized Holistic Education Plan is designed around the way
each student learns best.The academic curriculum includes
traditional core subjects, computer science, Spanish, physical
education, fine arts, and learning cognition. Students are trained
to use the latest assistive technology and software. Many students
also enroll in the innovative Arrowsmith Program at Brehm, a
breakthrough learning methodology that uses intensive cognitive
exercises to restore and strengthen learning pathways in the

strengths into a comprehensive program. Brehm students

partners round out the school`s extraordinary range of programs,
resources, and activities.Brehm has a 6-week Summer Program

Our child found a "place" at Brehm. The teachers and staff have the right knowledge, creativity, and desire. It has been amazing to watch our teen build confidence and joy in learning again. They feel comfortable and excited to be there.
