About Us
“If a student does not learn the way we teach, then we must teach them the way they learn.”
El Paso Bridges Academy was established in 1979 to meet the educational, emotional and social needs of the “learning different” students. These students have been identified and/or diagnosed with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD and/or High Functioning Autism (Asperger’s Syndrome). Bridges Academy offers the learning different student a safe and caring environment in which to learn.
