School Notes
Since 1982, Brehm Preparatory School has been empowering
students with learning disabilities and differences to recognize
and optimize their potential. Our caring, highly qualified faculty
and staff welcome students in grades 6 through 12+ into a dynamic
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
brain. Certified faculty and staff work with students to
monitor progress toward individual goals, leveraging individual
strengths into a comprehensive program. Brehm students
graduate with the tools, skills, and confidence to become effective
self-advocates and independent learners. Brehm`s 100-acre
wireless campus features state-of-the-art learning technologies and
software. Each student is provided with a laptop loaded with the
latest assistive tools and software through the school`s 1-to-1
Program. Vibrant working relationships with nearby Southern
Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) and numerous community
partners round out the school`s extraordinary range of programs,
resources, and activities. Brehm has a 6-week Summer Program
that offers academics, adventures and social awareness for children
with learning disabilities, ages 11 18. Our summer program was
developed by a team of faculty and speech and language pathologists
in hopes of creating a fun-filled learning adventure for students
with learning disabilities. Brehm also has a post-secondary
school, OPTIONS Transitions to Independence, that offers
instruction and assistance for students who need to further develop
independent living, social, employment and academic skills. OPTIONS
life development program emphasizes independent living, life
skills, self-advocacy skills, well-rounded interpersonal skills,
community linkages, employability, and career development
strategies. With the help of OPTIONS instructors, Independent
Living Counselors, and specialized academic coaches, our students
are successfully guided through speech and language courses, core
academic skills, college preparation and participation, social
skills, employment readiness classes, and community-based
internships. For more information, visit
