Overbrook School for the Blind is a private non-profit school educating students with visual impairment with or without additional challenges, provided at no cost to parents.

We consider new students for admission at any time during the school year. Any child who is blind or visually impaired and is referred by his or her local school district may apply to Overbrook School for the Blind. OSB also serves children with deafblindness in all of our outreach and educational programs. 

Since 1832, Overbrook School for the Blind has developed and delivered education for people with visual impairments, so that they have the greatest opportunity to experience active and fulfilling lives.
