BRIDGES ACADEMY

Bridges Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school with about 182 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Bridges Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The academy’s mission is centered on equipping students with the tools necessary for both personal and intellectual success. In addition to a standard curriculum, the school integrates Christian values into daily life, encouraging students to develop integrity, responsibility, and a sense of community service.
