The Gillen Brewer School
Gillen Brewer School (GBS) is a family-oriented, 12-month, special education program for children ages pre-K - 8th grade who have a wide variety of language-based and non-verbal learning disabilities. We provide an integrated, developmentally appropriate, academic-therapeutic program that includes speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and social groups. Our curriculum is enriched with robust music, art, science, technology, and movement programs. Learning and growing in a secure and nurturing environment, our students develop the skills necessary to overcome challenges. We work closely with their families to instill self-confidence and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and independence. GBS is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS). We serve students from New York City’s five boroughs and surrounding areas. GBS provides an excellently trained staff, a low student-to-teacher-ratio, a team-centered approach, and a well-honed Family Program that is the cornerstone of the organization’s mission and contributes to the sense of community.
