Bridging the gap between potential & performance.

A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit school for students with language-based learning disabilities — and the only Orton-Gillingham accredited school in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The Bridge Academy is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit specialized school for students with language-based learning disabilities — like dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and attention deficit disorder.

Our mission is to educate and empower these students to reach their fullest potential through a comprehensive educational program developed around each child’s individual needs.

An individualized, nurturing approach

It is our individualized approach to teaching — combined with the nurturing, emotionally supportive atmosphere at The Bridge Academy — that makes our school a uniquely effective learning environment. We serve students of average or higher intellectual potential who have language-based learning disabilities and do not have behavioral issues as their primary handicapping condition.

Built on Orton-Gillingham

Orton-Gillingham is the foundation of our curriculum — a 3:1 student-staff ratio in language arts, a 4:1 ratio in math, and small-group instruction across the curriculum. Multi-sensory teaching techniques address each student’s individual learning style.

A comprehensive curriculum

Located in Lawrenceville, NJ, The Bridge Academy serves students from throughout New Jersey and Bucks County, PA. We offer a full curriculum in language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, physical education & health, career orientation, speech, counseling, and occupational therapy — with integration and support through computers and technology.

Our curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey State Learning Standards and follows the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
