Middle School (6-8)
In middle school, we build upon the foundational skills taught in elementary school and prepare students for the rigor of high school. Our challenging academic program allows students to make connections to the world around them and equip them with the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary for the 21st century.
The core academic courses of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies include project-based learning to provide real-world experiences for students. Elective courses of STEM, art, physical education, Spanish, and consumer science are a few of the exploratory programs we offer to capitalize on students’ interests.
Dear Bridges Preparatory School Middle/High School Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with opportunities to rest, recharge, and spend time with those who matter most. As we begin another exciting school year together, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to both our returning families and those joining the Bridges Prep community for the first time.
This year marks my sixth year serving as Principal at Bridges Preparatory School, and I continue to feel incredibly honored to lead a school community that is committed to excellence, growth, and meaningful relationships. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of watching our students achieve remarkable accomplishments both inside and outside the classroom, and I remain inspired each day by their resilience, determination, and potential.
At Bridges Prep, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of student success. Building meaningful connections with our students and families remains one of my highest priorities. When students know they are valued, supported, and challenged, they are more likely to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to maintaining open lines of communication and working together as partners to ensure every student has the support they need to succeed.
Creating and sustaining a positive school culture is equally important. We strive to foster an environment where every student feels welcomed, respected, safe, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Our school is built on mutual respect, kindness, accountability, and a shared commitment to learning. Every member of our school community plays an important role in making Bridges Prep a place where students are excited to learn and proud to belong.
As we begin this new year, we will continue to hold high expectations for every student. We believe all students are capable of achieving great things when they are challenged, supported, and encouraged to persevere. Academic excellence, personal responsibility, integrity, and respect for others will continue to be the standards that guide our work each day. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing engaging learning experiences while helping students develop the skills and character necessary for success in college, careers, and life.
I encourage every student to become involved, take advantage of the many opportunities available at Bridges Prep, and embrace new challenges with confidence. Whether through academics, athletics, fine arts, clubs, or service, there are countless ways to grow, lead, and make a positive impact on our school community.
Thank you for the trust you place in us as partners in your child's education. I look forward to another outstanding year filled with learning, growth, and achievement. Together, we will continue to build a school culture where every student is known, challenged, supported, and inspired to succeed.
I am excited to welcome everyone back to campus and look forward to seeing all that we will accomplish together during the 2026–2027 school year.
Go Buccaneers!
