Our mission is to educate all learners to reach their full potential as contributing and productive members of our ever-changing global community.

Bridges Area Learning Center

Bridges Area Learning Center is a personalized alternative high school program designed to meet the needs of students who, for a variety of reasons, are not successful in the traditional school setting. It was created in 2009 to meet the needs of a changing student population.

High school years may find students confronted with a range of challenges, which put them at risk to not graduate. Rather than dropping out of school, students have an option to attend Bridges.

Our goal is to reach all learners-- especially those who struggle in traditional schools. Bridges offers personalized instruction with staff who have a flexible approach to teaching.
