"My son attended Bridges Academy from 6th grade through 12th. He haa ADD, and been bullied, ignored, teased, excluded, and misunderstood in his previous school. The teachers and staff made him feel welcome at first and an integral part of the community soon after. He is now in his third year at a four year university, doing well academically and socially. This would not have been possible without the caring and challenging education he received at Bridges, he is confident and able to recognize when he needs help. We are truly indebted."

"My son struggled for many years in the public school system due to issues in the social skills (e.g. perspective taking, social skills) and attention deficit area. He was bullied and teased and his challenges were never completely recognized nor were they addressed. Academically he performed well but it got to the point where he hated going to school. As a family, we really did not have many academic options to meet his needs. We were looking for the third middle school in three years. We found Bridges Academy! My son is now in his third year at Bridges and his whole outlook has changed. He feels safe, he loves his teachers, he is challenged academically and he is involved in extra curricular activities. He has made several friends. The curriculum and the program at Bridges has taught him to be organized and has allowed him to contribute and pursue his interests in and outside of the classroom. He is definitely on track to go to college. The technology that is utilized by the school is cutting edge and helps students get prepared for college. The teachers, the staff and head of the school are involved and really care about all the students. I highly recommend Bridges Academy."

"Last year my son was in the position of completely shutting down each academically and emotionally had he been left in his previous school. He is each highly gifted with ADHD and has an Auditory Processing Disorder, he definitely does not fit into the traditional school mold. Last year he was teased mercilessly by the other students for being so "different" and was struggling each academically and socially. In the short time he has attended Bridges, I have seen him thrive and more than anything he is excited to go to school every day! I truly feel as though Bridges saved him from what could have been a very bleak future in many ways. I am beyond grateful that this school allows my son to be himself and helps him access the curriculum so that he thrive academically."

"A year ago, if you would have asked my son what he wanted to do after he graduated high school, he would have told you he had no idea and quit bugging him while he was playing Wii. These days he ll tell you that he may want to formulate a method to make cancer cells undergo apoptosis without affecting the normal cells around them. In lay terms, that means he wants to cure cancer. And he has an idea of how he might do it. My son has ADHD and has always had an interest in science and the natural world. But his current focus on biological research came as a result of his relationship with his brilliant science teacher at Bridges Academy. I m grateful to Bridges for the significant role it has played in helping my son find his passion and define a path for his future -- even if that passion changes down the line."

"This school has changed our lives! Finally a school that can teach children to channel their strengths instead of constantly pointing out their weaknesses. For the first time in his 13 year life our son is developing true friendships and gaining confidence every day. The Bridges community is welcoming, understanding and highly active. The parents have a vested interest in the success of the school and they honestly have fun together! The staff here (both teachers and support staff) are phenomenal. They provide solid proposals and actually listen to parents, adjusting educational plans with parent input in mind. With the use of online tools, I can see the work required of my child without hounding him every day. Bridges is teaching my son how to take care of himself and I am so excited about his future!"
