Bridges is the only middle school in Oregon specifically designed for students with
learning differences to reach their maximum potential in a loving,
nurturing atmosphere centrally located in downtown Portland.

Our small class settings for 5th-8th graders incorporate individualized academics with social skills, therapies, and support that set the foundation for future success.

For many Bridges students, this means the difference between effective learning and being passed along. It means positive social and emotional growth rather than isolation or, worse, bullying.
