The Bridge School Cooperative Elementary

The Bridge School Cooperative Elementary The Bridge School Cooperative Elementary is a multi-age, responsive learning community that nurtures the whole child through authentic, hands-on experiences.

The Bridge School is a cooperative program that provides an education rich in exploration, community, connection to nature, and interdisciplinary learning. We work to foster confidence, compassion, and creativity in our students by listening directly to the children in our program and working to meet their individual academic and social-emotional needs. Cooperative schools encourage strong home-to

-school connections by encouraging all members of a learning community (students, families and teachers) to work together to build a supportive school environment. In a cooperative school, parents and teachers share the responsibility of running the school. Our well-qualified teachers plan and implement the curriculum and parents participate directly in their child's education by working regularly in the classroom and running the business of the school. Regular school board and all-school parent meetings ensure that all voices are heard and everyone is kept informed. Our multi-age learning environment allows for flexible student learning based on developmental readiness rather than age. This flexibility encourages mentorship among the students and fosters patience and collaboration in the classroom. The multi-age environment ensures that an individual student and her or his needs are placed before the dicta of a particular curricula or calendar cycle. The Bridge School is rooted in a progressive educational philosophy and places a strong emphasis on experiential learning. We believe "learning by doing" helps abstract ideas take hold in a practical and meaningful way. Regular field trips, student-inspired projects, and hands-on education are integral parts of The Bridge School's methodology. Our students are encouraged to celebrate critical thinking and problem solving and regular group work in the classroom helps them develop a strong sense of social responsibility. The Bridge School does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, family make-up or circumstances or any other legally protected status in the hiring of staff or in the administration of educational policies or programs, admissions policies or any other school administered programs.

It is with heavy hearts that we share some difficult news with our community. After much discussion and careful consideration, the decision has been made to close The Bridge School Cooperative Elementary at the end of this school year.

If you click the link below, you can read a letter from our board to our community about the school's closure: https://givebutter.com/c/thank-you-bridge-school

With that said, we are holding a garage sale and community popsicle party and playdate. See details above.

If you're interested in purchasing any items from the school, some things will be listed here prior to our garage sale:

We hope to cross your path in the future and be in community with you on Saturday. 🌈

Our Movement for Mindfulness class has been curious the last two weeks! They read "The Sea In The Way" by Sophie Gilmore. This prompted them to take a walk to look for beautiful and unusual objects. Then they concluded the day with an outdoor mud kitchen.

This week they read "Niko Draws a Feeling" by Bob Raczka while they turned chalk into chalk paint and beautiful art. During the afternoon they played a cooperative water passing game.

There's still time to enroll for next year and take a tour! Reach out to our head of school, [email protected] to start the process. 🌈
