Can a student recover academic credits if he has fallen behind?
Absolutely! Credit recovery and catching up to grade level are the most
common needs of Bridges Academy students. Our individualized curriculum
and year-round classes allow students to work at their own speeds,
enabling them to complete sometimes up to two years of high school in
only twelve months and catch up with their peers academically.
Does the Bridges Academy support students who want to go
to college?
Of Course! Many of our students attend college directly after graduating
from Bridges Academy. All high school courses meet and exceed Oregon
State standards for college level preparation. Upon successful completion
of the required high school curriculum, students may take college-level
courses from a number of colleges and/or universities through distance
learning. Our faculty members also serve as academic advisors,
assisting students in the college admissions process, including
preparing for the SATs.
