Recreational Program

Brehm has an extensive recreation (or "rec") program, managed by full time professionals and staffed by employees who are typically students from nearby colleges. The recreational program is designed with student input and choice to provide a broad range of structured and independent activities during the after-school and weekend hours. The recreation program encourages students to participate in structured “clubs” where they may: learn a new skill, develop balance in their social interactions, increase their self-esteem, gain new experiences, increase their awareness of leisure resources, develop culturally, and grow emotionally

Campus Forum

Campus Forum is a standing meeting which occurs on Wednesdays.  The purpose of campus forum is to discuss the culture of the school and its values, address issues, reward accomplishments, and communicate to the student body.  Campus forum occurs at a set time during the week when the student body can be addressed in order to facilitate who we are and what we want to see accomplished as a campus.

The agenda is set by the director with input from faculty, staff, and students via student government.  It is a time where outside speakers are brought in for whole school presentations on issues such as the effects of drugs, alcohol, and sexually transmitted diseases in addition to leadership training and special events.  Social skills training issues and general discussions pertinent to campus life are also discussed.


Dining Services


Brehm Preparatory School has a new dining facility and professional kitchen staff. Come see everything our Dining Services offer. The goal of the dining staff is to make the students, faculty and administrators experience the best it can be by providing good, nutritious food and lots of variety. Lunch and dinner are served daily. Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday in the dormitories.The dining staff prepares homemade meals cooked from “scratch”. With a large variety of entrees, side dishes and desserts students can always find something to fit your mood.



The menus are designed to provide a varied and nutritionally balanced choice of foods at each meal. Vegetarian and low fat entrees are available in the dining hall for lunch and dinner.

Many of our students donate blood in our semi-annual Red Cross Blood Drive.
