Brehm Sponsors a Relay for Life Team

Brehm has teamed up with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer. Students, faculty and staff have volunteered to participate in a local Relay for Life event, set to take place on April 24th at Carbondale High School.

The Relay for Life is one of the world's largest fundraisers and consists of a 12 hour walk, games, concert, talent show, Luminaria event, ponytail drive, food and FUN!

The American Cancer Society Relay for Life raises money for cancer research, education and support. This year, Brehm's goal is to raise $1000 to help this fight. If you would like to help us reach our goal, you can donate through our team website, or contact Brehm sponsors Lance Williams or Richard Ventura at 618.457.0371.

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.
