Parent testimonials
“I have two students at Bridges and both love it so much! We moved over from our neighborhood school in our town several years ago and have not looked back! Something I love about the school is the way they truly encourage family participation—they welcome parents/caregivers on their campus. The social-emotional component of their program is unmatched! They truly meet the children/families where they are at. Our only regret is not finding them sooner!!”
“We switched to Bridges a month into the school year and the difference was night and day. She went from a kindergarten teacher who didn’t seem to care, to one that was a truly amazing human being. Her kindergarten teacher at Bridges encouraged us to always advocate for our daughter! And her teacher was also an advocate for our daughter! Our daughter has gotten so much support, and I know she wouldn’t have made nearly as much progress as she has without the wonderful people at this school. Her teachers have been wonderful. The school counselor and school psychologist are truly angels. My husband and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. My daughter is also reading above her grade level and I feel like her teachers have done a good job differentiating their instruction so she’s reading texts at her level, which I really appreciate. It’s a great community, I could go on and on… I highly recommend Bridges!!!!”
