Wellspring's Arch Bridge School is a Connecticut State Department of Education Approved Special Education Program serving both day students (from the community) and residents of Wellspring's Residential Treatment Programs for girls and women.
Our student body includes residents of Wellspring`s residential
programs along with day students from the local community who
struggle with academic success due to emotional issues.
Typical diagnoses include: ADHD, generalized anxiety, depression
and mood disorders, bipolar, obsessive compulsive, eating, and
post- traumatic stress disorders, non-verbal learning disabilities,
and students on the autism spectrum.
The fundamental approach of the school is rooted in Wellspring`s
Relational Restorative Model to develop a personal relationship
with each student, within a clearly defined structure of
expectations and consequences. The therapeutic dimension of the
program offers a comprehensive exploration of the student`s
individual uniqueness while developing self-reliance, problem
solving skills, socialization, and the ability to manage anger and
stress. Parental involvement is an essential component of the
program.
Wellspring`s Arch Bridge School programs include:
Academics: English, Math, Science and Social Studies (taught by
certified teachers)
Other Classes: Art, Animal Program, Physical Education,
Adventure Recreation
Small Group Counseling: 4 groups per week focused on
psycho-education & coping skills, mindfulness & relaxation, anger

socialization (Groups are led by licensed masters level
clinicians)
Parent Support Group

Wellspring staff communicates regularly with parents, school
districts and other specialists regarding each student`s individual
progress, areas needing improvement and specific educational needs.

our staff works collaboratively with parents and members of the
sending school districts to plan and facilitate transition plans to
ensure opportunities for continued success.

In 1 year, Wellspring and The Arch Bridge School have transformed my daughter from a severely dysfunctional teen who wasn`t able to go to school, take care of herself and had no interest in day-to-day living to a B+ student who attends regularly, enjoys her classes, has made friends and is taking an active role in her treatment. She`s making plans for college, for a career and believes she has a bright future ahead. IT`S A MIRACLE. The staff have empathy and lots of experience and treat the girls with care and respect. We continue to be grateful for the work of Wellspring & The Arch Bridge School.
