Bridges Academy Employment Opportunities
Bridges Academy is dedicated to understanding and educating gifted and highly gifted students with learning differences (twice-exceptional or 2e students) and fostering a successful academic and social experience for our students and the broader community. We do this through the work of two divisions: Bridges Academy (LA) and The Center for Twice-Exceptional Research and Professional Development (The 2e Center).
Bridges Academy (LA), a college preparatory school for Grades 4-12, empowers its students to thrive academically and socially through small classes and differentiated instruction, creating an environment in which gifts are recognized and developed and learning differences and disabilities are accepted. Many students come to Bridges defined by their challenges but graduate defined by their strengths and talents.
If you’re interested in joining our community of inspirational educators making a difference in the life of 2e students, please check out our open positions, detailed below. Then, fill out the form (also below) and submit a cover letter, resume, and 3 references via the same form.
We look forward to hearing from you!
