Admissions

The Bridges program is designed specifically for students with high ability or potential and with mild to moderate learning differences. It is a non-therapeutic environment, yet highly advanced, attuned, and responsive to the psychological and emotional needs of our students.

The admissions process is designed to identify those students we feel will best benefit from our program. Recognizing the pros and cons of evaluative methods and because of the inherent contradiction in the nature of twice-exceptional students’ learning profiles, Bridges uses a broad range of tools and procedures and does not rely solely on standard measures to determine fit.

Process
​Here are the steps to becoming a student at Bridges Academy Seattle:

1. Contact Admissions Associate Kayla Waesche (818-506-1091 | kayla.waesche@bridges.edu ) for initial conversation and further admissions information.​​​
2. Submit an Application Packet or fill out our online application form. This includes requests for transcripts, standardized test results, and teacher and administrator recommendations. Previous school records, private assessments, work samples, and other materials help us evaluate your child’s talents & needs.
3. Schedule a student interview.
4. Bridges Academy conducts an admissions evaluation.
5. Bridges mails out acceptances and enrollment contracts on a rolling basis, or recommends an alternate school.

​ROLLING ADMISSIONS: Bridges Academy operates under a rolling admissions policy and therefore does not have deadlines. Families who complete the application process will be notified on a rolling basis subject to available space.
