9th Bridge School

Specialties

9^th Bridge offers a unique learning environment for the entrepreneurs and creators inherent in us all. We invite you to join our community of 9^th Bridge families who are ready for active exploration, collaboration and innovation.

Although the curriculum is challenging and rigorous, we are not just focused on a student’s progress academically. We are also focused on providing an emotionally safe environment, where students’ social-​emotional well-​being is cultivated on an individual basis. At 9^th Bridge, our positive, engaging curriculum helps our students to achieve a sense of comfort, ease, and happiness that supports their learning.

Our educational environment is designed specifically to stimulate learning. From our flexible classrooms to our outdoor environments and gardens, your children will be able to explore and develop at their own pace. We also look to our students to drive the instruction in the classroom based on their interest by engaging in project studies.

In addition to our full-​time infant, toddler, pre-​K, Kindergarten and 1^st Grade programs, we are pleased to announce the introduction of a part-​time option for our toddler 1’s through pre-​K 4 students. 9^th Bridge plans to grow as our students grow, expanding a grade a year in the coming years.

We welcome you to come tour our school, and hope you join us on our exciting journey to redefine the experience of school.
