Extracurricular activities include a variety of sports, and exposure to music and the fine arts.
There's swimming, wrestling, goalball, track and field, and cheerleading, and our athletes
enjoy participating in the Eastern Athletic Association for the Blind competitions. Music is an
important part of the Overbrook experience. In addition to instrumental, vocal, and choir
instruction, there are semi-annual student concerts, and bi-annual music festivals with other
schools for the blind from all along the East Coast. Student artwork - in several disciplines - is
often exhibited on and off campus. This year, nearly 100 of our students participated in
creating a large mosaic mural inside the main Rotunda building at Overbrook. As with sports,
the arts provide an inclusive and joyous dimension to life at Overbrook.

Today, the 26-acre Overbrook School for the Blind campus includes an historic Rotunda
building that houses classrooms, offices, an auditorium, and a library. Two separate buildings
house programs for pre-school children and elementary age students. The Nevil Field House
contains a gymnasium, bowling lanes, indoor track, physical fitness room, and locker rooms.
