Talking with the students, sharing stories and realizing we all often just want the same things -- to learn, to grow, and to achieve, is one of the best parts of my job. I am grateful for the insightful wisdom of our students. Shamirah B. and I chatted about setting big goals and achieving them. Listen and watch below.

Greetings! We’re so glad you “landed” here to visit Overbrook School for the Blind's virtual home. As you enjoy the various pages and links that follow, I hope you feel the same way that we want everyone to feel if they step through the threshold of our doors -- that they are a welcome friend of the School and its students. If we don’t honor our guests in that manner, then we’ve dishonored our students. If this website largely reflects the warm, welcoming place that I know our students want our School to be, then we’ve hit the mark.

We recognize that no matter what we include on our website that highlights the achievements, joys, and challenges that our students confront and overcome, there will be lingering questions you may have, especially if you’re a parent who’s considering whether The Overbrook School for the Blind might be the right placement for your child. I hope you feel comfortable calling upon us to talk more about what the School might be able to offer you and your child. Please also visit our New Families Page for additional information and contacts.
