The Gillen Brewer School’s mission is to educate and support our students to become confident, independent, and engaged learners.

We do this by:

• Partnering with our families
• Providing a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel accepted and where learning is fun
• Encouraging our students to advocate for themselves while being respectful and responsible members of the community
• Engaging our students in a comprehensive 12-month academic curriculum which incorporates the Common Core New York State Standards, while addressing the individual learning needs of each child
• Providing developmentally appropriate educational opportunities and challenges for our students
• Integrating speech and language, occupational therapy and counseling services into our educational program
• Cultivating educators who value a team approach and an ongoing commitment to learning
• Moving children to a less restrictive educational setting when appropriate
