George L. Bridge School is an independent, co-educational, NCA accredited college preparatory middle and high school located two miles east of the city of Boulder, Colorado. With our small class size (average of 12 students) and a student-to-staff ratio of 7 to 1, Bridge is an excellent alternative to area public or charter schools.  

• SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY:
  At Bridge School we believe that learning is best accomplished in a caring, safe and supportive environment. Our size enables us to enjoy and profit from a unique closeness among students and staff.
• ENGAGING ACTIVITIES:
  Beyond traditional academics, Bridge School students engage in a variety of extracurricular activities, including film-making, photography, ceramics, music, soccer, volleyball, basketball and ultimate frisbee.
• DYNAMIC ACADEMICS:
  Academics are the core of a Bridge School education, with our college-prep curriculum requiring students to take a variety of classes from the six major disciplines: English, mathematics, science, social studies, modern languages and the arts.  We believe the deepest, best learning occurs when students must question, hypothesize and actively explore their subject matter.  This philosophy is implemented through the daily practice of open question and answer, discussion, hands-on experiences and the promotion of original, creative thought. We strive daily to challenge each of our students academically, socially, emotionally and physically.
• UNIQUE EXPERIENCES:
  Experiential education at Bridge culminates in the spring with our May Term projects and  trips. These week- long, mixed age group explorations allow students to study areas of interest first-hand and in-depth. Groups travel far afield or focus their energies in a specific area close to home.  Recent May Terms have included Spanish language immersion and adventuring in Costa Rica, mountain biking in Moab, Shakespeare studies in  England, amateur radio licensing, studying of artists and their work in Paris, jewelry-making and cultural exploration in post-Katrina New Orleans.  May Term is one of the highlights of the Bridge school year.
