Brehm Students Prepare For International Trip to Greece

As the April 18th departure date for Greece approaches, Barb Lawrence prepares her students for this year's international trip. Recently, students have spent time researching local customs, geography and history.

Kyle takes a break from the internet to pose for the camera.

Students research various topics simultaneously in Barb Lawrence's class.

Stephen works on a map of the islands in the Aegean Sea,
Greece and Turkey.

Students investigate sights to be seen via the web:

the islands of Patmos, Santorini, Mykonos, and Philerimos,
as well as Athens and the Acropolis

Brehm's tradition of embarking on international trips will be carried out through staying in centrally located hotels and venturing out on walking tours, sightseeing trips, excursions, boat cruises and more!

What is Brehm?

Brehm is an accredited junior-senior high school. A family style boarding school for students, grades 6 through 12, with complex learning disabilities.

OPTIONS Program at Brehm serves post high school students with learning disabilities who need to further develop academic and social skills required for success in college, vocational/technical school, and the workplace.

Brehm Preparatory School Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, offers a unique holistic program that individually addresses each student’s academic, emotional, and social needs.

Brehm uses the term “complex” learning disabilities in recognition that students experience difficulties in multiple areas of functioning. Brehm’s holistic program focuses on the combined academic, social and emotional effects of having a learning disability.

Our students often have multiple diagnoses affecting their performance with the core issue of having a language-based etiology. We recognize the combined effects of LD/ADD, language based processing issues, executive function issues and the social and psychological implications of not being successful in an academic environment. Brehm offers direct interventions for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, NLD, aspergers, anxiety disorder, tourettes, auditory processing disorder, speed of processing disorders and interventions requiring behavioral and emotional support as it relates to academic issues.
