The School’s History

Since 1979, we have been the foremost authority in providing comprehensive, specialized education to children who learn differently. Our students are usually identified with dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, Asperger’s, or other neurological sensory disorders. To meet their educational, emotional, and social needs, Bridges Academy provides a safe and caring environment.

"If a student does not learn the way we teach, then we must teach them the way they learn."
