Overbrook School for the Blind

The Vision of Overbrook School for the Blind is to inspire individuals with visual impairment, including those with additional challenges, to achieve their highest potential; to share our culture that embraces their abilities; to be a dynamic and leading educational organization; and to use our expertise to positively influence our students, families, partners and peers, regionally, nationally and internationally.

A Place to Thrive

We give students the opportunity to have amazing lives both in and out of the classroom! As part of the Expanded Core Curriculum, students are supported by a community that helps to foster friendships and navigate growing up. Social skills education, extra-curricular activities, and vocational skills are part of every day learning at our school.
