Annual Giving Campaign Ends with Success!

The 2008-2009 Brehm Annual Giving Campaign ended on June 30th with a total of $340,724 in donations, surpassing the goal of $320,000.

We thank all of our supporters for their gifts during the campaign year. Annual giving provides student and faculty support not possible through our fixed operational budget. Through the generous support from our donors we have been able to fund significant facility improvements, extensive staff development and great student opportunities.

As the 2009-2010 Campaign begins, we look forward to continuing the legacy of excellence, leadership and character development critical to the education of our students at Brehm.

For more information on how your donation can make an impact on the life of a student with complex learning disabilities contact our Coordinator of Development, Russell Williams, at (618) 457-0371, ext. 1308 or rwilliams@brehm.org.

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.
