Welcome to Overbrook Educational Center!

Overbrook Educational Center, or OEC, serves kindergarten through 8th graders from across the city.  We have lottery-based admissions as well as the only District program for Visually Impaired/Blind (VIB) students.  As a Community School, we have strong partnerships that enhance student, family, and neighborhood engagement.

Our goal is for students to be able to excel both academically and socially in all settings. By offering resources and tools tailored to their needs, OEC wants to be at the forefront in empowering sighted and VIB students to reach their full potential––integrating confidently into their high schools of choice and their communities.

We are a small school, with about 265 students and 75 staff members.  We have one homeroom of each grade from kindergarten to 8th as well as K-2nd Autistic Support, 3rd-5th Life Skills Support, and 6th-8th Life Skills Support classrooms.  We also offer Learning Support and Vision services, with Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments and an Orientation and Mobility Specialist.  We pride ourselves on our inclusivity and dedication to teaching the whole child.
