Bridges Middle and High School

Bridges supports middle and high school students in sixth through tenth grades during the transition between middle and high school, emphasizing academics and exploring new interests.

Bridges provides personalized support for middle schoolers as they transition to high school, including dedicated tutors who provide math, science and language arts support. In collaboration with Heart of Los Angeles’ Visual Arts, Scientific Arts, Leadership, Music, and Athletics programs, Bridges also offers a variety of activities, including sports leagues, college tours, digital media, photography, conflict resolution, and science clubs.

Our staff support students holistically through academic intervention, including daily homework help and tutoring in core subjects. Our staff can also provide one-on-one guidance by attending parent/teacher conferences and IEP meetings to ensure students can be successful throughout their academic careers.

Bridges programming is aligned with Common Core Standards, incorporating materials and subject matter from the classroom while remaining aligned with the interests and needs of our youth. In addition to school year programming, students can participate in half-day summer sessions, focusing on language arts, mathematics, and outdoor activities, along with field trips across Los Angeles.
