Hello, my name is Emma Urhammer and I am a senior public relations major at Otterbein University. I am the marketing and communication intern at Marburn Academy this summer. Marburn Academy is an independent day school dedicated to serving the educational needs of students who learn differently due to dyslexia, executive function difficulties, and attention challenges. 

Marburn Academy’s mission is to celebrate and empower students who learn differently and help them become engaged, resilient, compassionate, empowered, and self-advocates. Marburn Academy opened a new facility in the Columbus area in hopes to be more accessible to the community. This facility currently offers one through fifth-grade tutoring and is hoping to expand to higher grade levels. 

A big event coming up is hosting our summer school program which begins in June and lasts till the end of July. Our summer school program is open to Marburn families and also non-Marburn families. The summer school program is a great way to minimize learning loss over the summer. 

Promoting the summer school program is one of my responsibilities so Marburn can reach more families outside of our own. The program is open to students entering kindergarten and first grade. It is also open to students entering second through ninth grade. During summer school students will expand their knowledge by following the strategy of “Breaking the code.” Click here to learn more.
