As supporters of homeschooling, Bridges opens its doors to homeschooled students of all ages. We believe that parents can often times be the best teachers for their own children, but we also understand the need for homeschoolers to find supplemental support in the core subjects of reading and writing. We also know that homeschoolers look for positive small-group settings to give their children a chance to interact with other students and teachers.
At Bridges, homeschoolers will benefit from our literature-based reading and writing curriculum. Literature-based instruction allows students to read and write about quality literature, in its original narrative and expository works. All the activities and discussions are authentic and require critical thinking, an expression of ideas, and students are asked to go beyond the text to look for connections across other stories, personal experiences, and history.
At the same time, Bridges curriculum is also aligned to each grade level of the California Department of Education Content Standards for Language Arts. In each unit study at Bridges, homeschoolers will be able to master the reading skills in vocabulary development and word analysis, reading comprehension, and literary analysis.
Homeschoolers will also have opportunities to learn the up-to-date writing strategies for organization and development of ideas currently being taught at local schools. Also, homeschoolers will have the chance to develop their creative writing through short stories and poetry.
Homeschooled students will also work with the same, credentialed and experienced teacher every week. They will also have the opportunity to develop friendships with two to five other students. At Bridges, homeschoolers will work cooperatively, engage in small group discussions, express their ideas with their peers, and be challenged by students in their age group.
