Middlebridge is a haven for learning, growing, and belonging. Traditionally, the Middlebridge student presents with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or written expression, attentional diagnoses such as ADD/ADHD, Executive Dysfunction, and/or challenges with processing speed or working memory.
Middlebridge students are bright, college-bound adolescents, who benefit from small classes, individualized learning, and executive functioning support.
A PLACE TO BELONG AND BECOME
"Making a space to belong is easy, you just need to find the shared interests. Making a space where students can actually become their best selves is so much harder. However, I believe our community is proof it can be done."
- Moss, Class of '24

The Middlebridge Classroom
Middlebridge has achieved a reputation as one of the leading high school programs in the country for students with learning differences. Classes are small—with between five and seven students—and comprised of peers who share similar learning profiles.
The Middlebridge classroom is success-oriented to encourage academic curiosity and motivation.
Emotional Intelligence
Our innovative Emotional Intelligence curriculum sets us apart from other schools. These daily classes allow students to focus on their potential for emotional wellness and development, building stronger relationships, managing conflict or anxiety, understanding of psychology, navigating social media with integrity, and developing core values.
Emotional Intelligence classes promote students to become confident, passionate, and engaged adults.
Internships & Community Service
To emphasize and support our community service programming, our internship program allows students to explore potential areas for future study at college and to develop personal hobbies and passions through internships, job-shadowing, and fieldwork.
We partner with dozens of local organizations to create internship and volunteer opportunities.
Student Life
Many of our students are talented athletes, and we have five competitive sports teams. We have a quality fine and performing arts program, and dozens of electives ranging from surfing to creative writing.
Middlebridge is within driving distance of some of the best natural and cultural experiences in the Northeast. We offer weekend trips to enrich students’ education by taking advantage of what this region has to offer.

Postgraduate Program
Middlebridge School offers a unique Postgraduate Program for recent high school graduates. The PG Program is individualized to help each student achieve his or her personal goals, with every postgraduate’s program collaboratively designed by the student, his or her parents, and the Middlebridge staff. Some students take a full course load of college preparatory classes, while others take few or no classes. Some students focus on internships, and some balance both school and internships.
The PG program is offered in conjunction with the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) in Newport, University of Rhode Island, and New England Technical Institute in Warwick. Students may enroll at one of these schools and study what they choose from a multitude of classes offered.
This virtual meetup is designed for prospective parents to learn more about who the Middlebridge student is and what we have to offer for complex learners.
