Post-high school guidance at Bridges Academy is comprehensive, proactive, and highly individualized. Our post-secondary guidance encourages students to explore their talents, interests, and passions while acknowledging their learning differences, social and emotional development, and needs.
The guidance process is more than just a discussion about post-secondary educational placement.

To help begin this process of maturation, counselors meet with students and families throughout high school, and our Junior and Senior Seminar courses give Bridges students time and space to grow as young adults and pursue their transitional goals Graduation Requirements
