What Is The Bridge Academy Annual Fund?

Private individuals, corporations and foundations donate to The Bridge Academy Annual Fund. The Annual Fund provides us with the resources necessary to maintain standards of excellence in teaching children with learning disabilities. 

We rely substantially on donations to support the multi-sensory, child-centered approach to learning that makes The Bridge Academy unique. Every donation counts at The Bridge Academy, and we appreciate the generosity of all our contributors.

What is the money used for?

The Annual Fund allows us to maintain the highest standards for teaching by providing for state-of-the-art staff training and curriculum development. They enable the school to provide multi-sensory learning experiences through field trips and excursions linked to the academic programs. 

Last year, for example, life science students studied some of the forensic science techniques made famous by popular television programs like CSI.  Bridge Academy students traveled to the New Jersey State Forensic Lab, Ground Zero and the Skyscraper Museum in New York to get hands-on experience and see science at work. 

For the 2007-2008 school year, monies donated to our Annual Fund were used for

• teachers’ professional development
• enhancing current school facilities
• enhancing our technology program
• supplies for the arts and math curriculums

Your support of our Annual Fund will help Bridge Academy students to overcome obstacles and achieve success in the school setting. Each gift is appreciated, regardless of size. The students and staff of The Bridge Academy are grateful for your contributions.
