NewBridge School is designed for students with language-based learning disabilities.
We specialize in teaching students with average to above average intelligence who require different instructional methods.
Our teachers are expert in balancing high academic standards with supportive, analytical teaching styles.
We provide strategy-based instruction that focuses on teaching students HOW to learn rather than simply going through the materials.
Students who may struggle in a public school environment flourish in our intentionally small classrooms (8:1). This gives our teachers the ability to truly get to know each student, allowing them to better understand their strengths and challenges, and personalize their approach.
We integrate Speech and Language and Occupational Therapy into the classroom to maximize progress.

School Reviews

NewBridge has been a game changer for my son. He has severe dyslexia, and prior to stating this, he thought he was dumb and couldn't learn. All of that has changed with the help of the highly trained NewBridge staff who are Orton-Gillingham trained. My son went up 2 grade levels in reading this past year. He has solid friendships, loves school, is independent in his homework, and is thriving. We are so grateful for NewBridge—I highly recommend.
