From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bridges Academy is a private middle/high school located in Studio City, California. It caters exclusively to "twice exceptional" (2e). It specializes in small class sizes and individualized learning.
[edit] Facilities
Bridges moved from its previous location in Sherman Oaks, California to its current location. It rents space from Osula University, which still uses most of the campus for its purposes, including classrooms, dorms, cafeteria, etc.
The building is a temporary place for Bridges, as it is searching for a permanent home.
Bridges mostly occupies the upper floor of one of the buildings. The curriculum is specially designed for students with Attention Deficit Disorder.
Bridges also uses the tables in the cafeteria and vending machines and gym facilities. It does not utilize the cooking facilities.
