Education at Bridge School is an expedition in learning. We help students gain the skills and confidence to venture beyond the safety of the classroom. Each year begins with a school-wide Orientation trip. Students travel to an outdoor retreat setting to challenge themselves in a variety of community-building activities. During Orientation, new bonds are formed, and old ones renewed, laying the foundation for a successful school year. 

Experiential education at Bridge culminates in the spring with our May Term projects and trips. These week-long, mixed-age explorations allow students to study areas of interest and then experience them first-hand and in-depth.  Groups travel far afield or focus their energies in a specific area close to home. May Term offerings vary from year to year. Past experiences have included Spanish language immersion and adventuring in Costa Rica, mountain biking in Moab, rock climbing in the Boulder area, Shakespeare studies in England, sea kayaking in the Pacific Northwest, astronomy in Chaco Canyon, guitar-making with a master luthier from Tuscany and cultural- or arts-studies trips to China, Ireland and France.  In the spring of 2007, a group of Bridge School students participated in the India Project , a two week trip for students interested in directly interacting with the culture and people of Northern India. 

Through all their experiences at Bridge, students develop teamwork and good sportsmanship. Creativity is revered an nurtured, and skills learned are practiced beyond our campus walls. Students emerge from Bridge School as responsible and contributing members of the community at large. Beyond traditional academics, our students engage themselves in any of a variety of activities; these can include, but are not limited to: basketball, soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, photography, ceramics, cooking, music, and drama.
