BridgeWay’s greatest strength is our high level of English taught by American and Canadian teachers. There is an advantage for students to hear the correct pronunciation and grammar without an accent. When students are young they learn a second language quickly and easily.

BridgeWay has a chosen a bilingual curriculum which emphases: languages (English and Spanish), mathematics, science, technology, and the arts. BridgeWay teachers are dynamic and creative; focused on integrating our core values. They are led and supervised by our Director.

The core values at BridgeWay are: truth, love, community, integrity, and creativity.

Bullying will not be tolerated. We want students and parents to report the problem to the teacher first and if they are not satisfied then turn to the director for counsel. The problem will be approached with various methods. Teachers will discuss with their classes at the beginning of the year and at other times, what bullying is and why it is not acceptable.  Student cases will be handled individually when necessary.

A file is kept on each teacher for future recommendations.  Teachers are also urged to confer with other teachers and share ideas, and projects to do together with their classes.

Homework is based on the grade of the child. We prescribe homework for all children beginning with 10 minutes a day for K-2 and a maximum of 60 minutes for 6^th graders. Teachers highly recommend students do their homework at school so they are free at home.
