The Gillen Brewer School

Together, we see the possibilities – and together, we will help your child make meaningful strides forward.

That’s the Gillen Brewer difference: an integrated, academic-therapeutic approach combined with a school-home partnership that supports and celebrates your child’s complex learning needs.

Since 1992, Gillen Brewer has used a collaborative approach between teachers and therapists to provide differentiated instruction and seamlessly integrated therapies to help children with a broad range of language-based learning disabilities grow into students who are:

Proud of their progress as they become determined, lifelong learners who advocate for themselves and take on new and greater academic challenges.

Excited to explore their interests and the broader opportunities created for them within the school and surrounding community.

Prepared to engage with the world with the self-confidence and independence gained from learning and thriving among trusted teachers, therapists, classmates, and families.

In our safe and vibrant learning environment on the Upper East Side of New York City, students in Preschool-Grade 8 enjoy an authentic school experience – filled with social connections, field trips, and school traditions – while benefiting from year-round programming that offers academics, arts, physical education, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and social groups.

Gillen Brewer School is not only for students. It is a supportive and uplifting community for the entire family. Together, we can navigate your child’s future – with care, respect, and unwavering optimism. Come see the possibilities with us.
