Bridges Academy is a day school in studio city, California, that educates a diverse group of 190 gifted students (grades 4-12) with a range of strengths, interests, and learning differences. We refer to these students as twice-exceptional or 2e. Bridges Academy has specialized in the education of 2e students for over 25 years. Bridges Academy provides a rigorous, innovative curriculum that emphasizes the strengths, gifts, and talents of its students, while proactively offering options and tools to address their learning differences. Our core values include embracing cognitive diversity, emphasizing strengths and talents, empowering learners, and ensuring equity and access. The school prepares students for the 21st century and its many opportunities, including university studies, and artistic and entrepreneurial endeavors. The center for twice-exceptional research and professional development educates and supports educators and the broader community in the identification, understanding and education of twice-exceptional students.
