Bridge
Who We Are
As a credit recovery program, we are devoted to providing an alternative high school education for youth across the state of Indiana.
Founded in 2014, Bridge has helped over 900 students earn their high school diplomas. Our purpose is to maximize the potential of all students by establishing a learning environment that supports resiliency, flexibility, self-advocacy, and a passion for life-long learning. At the heart of our purpose is our calling to assist in the academic, social, and emotional growth of students who have experienced hardships, overcome adversity, or made mistakes that have impeded their success in a traditional school setting.
As a public high school there is no cost for a student to participate in our program.
Quality Staff
Bridge is overseen by licensed, highly qualified teachers who monitor student progress on a daily basis. Our staff believes that through building relationships with students and providing encouragement, instruction, and accountability, all students can and will learn. Students have the ability to communicate with school staff throughout the day, evening, and weekend hours in order to receive the academic and emotional support needed to provide them with every opportunity to be successful. Teachers offer instruction and support through a variety of modalities such as emails, texts, video calls, and face-to-face.
"During my time in this program I have been supported by a wonderful teacher. The program offers diverse course options and goes at your own pace. The quizzes and tests also give you a chance to retake it if you didn’t get a very good grade, which is helpful because rather than having you take it and move on like traditional schooling, it focuses on whether you did a good job and learned from the lesson."
