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

At Bridges Area Learning Center, our goal is to reach all learners— especially those who struggle in a traditional school setting. Our alternative high school program offers personalized instruction with staff who have a flexible approach to teaching. 

Thanks to community support, Bridges opened a new school in 2019 that was built with flexible learning spaces, bright, open classrooms as well as a kitchen and cafeteria.
