Admissions & Enrollment

Admissions Process

Admission inquiries for the 2024/2025 school year are now open. Space is limited and our classes fill fast. Once your inquiry is submitted, a staff member will contact you to schedule an admissions tour.

At this time, grades 6, 7, and 8 are closed for the 2023/2024 school year. Admission inquiries for grade 5 will be accepted on a rolling basis until all spots are filled.

Submit an admission inquiry.

1. Parents visit during the school day and will receive a student-led tour of the school.
2. A member of the admissions team will reach out to parents following the school visit to schedule a time for the student to come to the school for a casual meet and greet.
3. If both the school and family agree Bridges may be a good fit for the student, parents will be invited to submit an application. A $100 application fee will be due, along with recent report cards, testing, IEP or other evaluations that provide useful information about the student.
4. Once the admissions team reviews the application, if Bridges is determined to be a good fit for the student, they will be invited for two in-person shadow days.
5. A final decision regarding acceptance will then be made by the admissions team, and parents will be contacted as soon as possible.

Tuition Payments

We offer three payment plan options:

1. One single payment with 2% savings,
2. Four payments, or
3. Ten monthly payments (with $10 monthly billing fee). 

All enrolled families will be required to set up an online payment plan account  through FACTS.

Annual Tuition

Tuition for the 2024/2025 school year is $28,000 and includes all activities, supplies, technology management and field-trip fees. Since our opening in 1998, Bridges’ Board of Directors has been committed to offering substantial Financial Aid funds each year in order to make Bridges more affordable for our families, and dedicates 10% of its annual operating budget each year to fulfilling this promise.

Tuition Refund Insurance

All families choosing payment plan 2 (four payments) or 3 (ten payments) will be required to pay an additional fee of 2.2% of annual tuition to enroll in our Tuition Refund Insurance Plan. Your financial obligation to the school is for the full annual tuition as stated in the school’s enrollment contract. Download Tuition Refund Plan brochure here (PDF)

• The school cannot refund tuition or cancel unpaid obligations if your child is forced to withdraw during the academic year. If your child withdraws, the Tuition Refund Plan will pay benefits (subject to the terms of the policy and the amount insured) to the school, which provides substantial assistance in meeting your financial obligation. 
• More information will be made available upon acceptance. 
• For students entering mid-year, the deposit and tuition are pro-rated.
