Our Mission
Bridges Academy is a college preparatory school for "twice-exceptional" students in grades 5-12. The term twice-exceptional or "2e" refers to students who are gifted or highly-gifted (one exception) and who also have learning differences or disabilities (the other exception). Bridges Academy empowers students to thrive academically and socially through small classes, differentiated instruction, and a compassionate community in which both gifts and differences are recognized and respected.
