The Bridge School

"No other school will provide your child with an education at the level of quality that The Bridge School provides. Kids at this school are not expected to just sit at their desks to learn. They explore learning in a very hands-on way that is unique to this school. The Bridge School offers a supportive community for your child and their entire family. Each child develops at his or her own pace and is allowed to do so. Children thrive and develop a love of learning which is why my children attend."

"This is our family's fourth year at Bridge. I cannot imagine my kiddos attending any other elementary program after being here. Yes, it is a labor of love and families run this school...but that's what makes it great! We have an amazing paid staff and the partnership between them, the parents, and the students is what makes Bridge what it is. We are all invested in all of our children. This school understands how children learn and what children need. Our outdoor program and theater program are both huge highlights of the Bridge experience. If you want a high quality experience for your child and are able to invest your heart and soul but cannot afford one of the more expensive private schools then this may be your spot. Tuition is kept low because parents share much of the work and financial aid helps fill in the gaps for a number of dedicated families. Come take a tour and see what this school is all about!! We'd love to have you join us."

"We moved my 9 year old son to The Bridge School after he kept slipping through the cracks in public school. He never wanted to go to school and often complained of stomach aches. Now he wakes up early excited to learn! The teachers and parent volunteers make learning tangible through many hands on experiences. They also focus on community building both within the school and city at large. We have made fantastic friends and are so happy we found The Bridge School!"

"We just finished our first year at The Bridge School and we are home! For the first time since my son started school, I believe he is forming a healthy relationship with education. I can only describe the experience he is getting as "real." There are too many examples of what we love about The Bridge School to name, but my favorite aspect is that I know that my child matters here. We are excited for our daughter to start next school year!"

"The Bridge School is a fantastic school - both my kids go here. My seven year old is in five days a week, and my three year old is in the Friday half day program. It's a cooperative school - the first one we've been a part of - and the school has a high degree of parental involvement. So long as that works for you, and you are willing to put in the time needed (each family has a certain number of volunteer hours per month) this is a wonderful way of involving the parents in the day to day functions of the school. It helps us as parents meet other parents, and see what the school does first-hand. The co-op aspect helps keep costs down, which helps a great deal. My kids love going to school, which matters a lot to us. Both my wife and I believe play-based learning is the best way for kids to connect with the subject matter and The Bridge School excels at this. Every Wednesday my seven year old gets to spend most of the day at Seahurst Park, exploring and learning about the natural world. Sparking his curiosity is such a great first step for future learning! We would not hesitate to recommend The Bridge School to other families."
