Ohio State School for the Blind

The first public school in the United States for the education of Blind and Visually Impaired students, OSSB welcomes more than 100 students each year to our campus in Columbus, Ohio. We use Expanded Core Curriculum in our classrooms and offer students opportunities to learn and grow socially and emotionally in a safe environment through extra-curricular activities.

The Ohio State School for the Blind is a collaboration of students who are blind and visually impaired, their families, staff and community members who provide an individualized road map that develops the whole student.

OSSB’s goals focus on the following:
1. Staff will assist in the development of the whole student
2. Provide and access professional development
3. Improve communication
4. Utilize 21st-century technology
