Bridges Academy Seattle
Purpose
|
Bridges Academy was created to serve students who are twice-exceptional — gifted students who also have learning differences. Bridges meets all sets of needs by providing an exciting, stimulating curriculum and supporting the social-emotional needs of diverse learners.
Bridges Academy Seattle seeks to address these needs and support this population of students in the Greater Seattle Area. VisionBridges seeks to bring a greater pedagogical focus on cognitive diversity and strength-based learning to the Pacific Northwest. We aim to unlock the potential of the amazing minds of these learners so that they may become architects of their own lives and the future, contributing to society, culture, and community.
LocationThe school is located at 2706 S. Jackson St. in Seattle, where the Seattle Girls School previously resided.
