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.

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.
