At Overbrook School for the Blind we prepare our students, all of whom are blind or visually
impaired, to have the greatest opportunity to experience active and fulfilling lives. In developing
academic and other programs specifically adapted for each student, many of whom have
additional challenges besides visual impairment, teams of highly qualified teachers and
specialists work seamlessly to create a caring, can-do environment. Students work, play, and in
some cases, live in an extraordinary set of integrated buildings carefully designed to meet the
multiple needs of the students.
