Admissions, Waitlist, and Tours
Bridges admissions process is approached in one of two ways. Early admissions occur every fall for the following year, during which time many of our spots fill. If you have missed the fall deadline, however, we offer rolling admissions. We welcome you to inquire about openings and hope that you will come see our program.
Early Admissions: September – December
Thank you for considering Bridges School for your family. We look forward to meeting you/hearing from you. If you have questions or are interested in attending one of our informational meetings, please contact Dawn Ginste at 203-637-0204 or dawn@bridgesschool.org.
