About Bridger School
Bridger provides a positive and caring learning environment where all children are valued for their unique abilities, talents and individual learning styles. The school maintains high standards and strives for academic excellence for all of our students. All teachers and staff support the belief that students should be empowered to take responsibility for their own learning, as well as their social and emotional choices. Teachers use thematic units and project-based instruction, with an emphasis on problem-solving skills and hands-on learning activities. The connections between school and home, students and community are emphasized in the overall educational program. Parents provide volunteer assistance, fundraising opportunities and valuable advice as members of the school’s Site Council.
