Mission & Philosophy

Provide a challenging and meaningful academic program with tools and strategies to build recovery and resilience, leading to lifelong success and recovery.

 

Our Mission

The mission of The Bridge Way School is to offer a strong academic program to students in grades 9–12 who are in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders that allows them to focus on learning in an environment in which recovery is required and supported. We believe that a recovery school that incorporates 12-step principles is a key component on the continuum of support systems and recovery management.

 

Our Philosophy

While the paramount objective of The Bridge Way School is to provide a meaningful and challenging educational program, we recognize that our students need time during the school day to develop tools and strategies for maintaining a recovery plan. These combined objectives will help our students succeed on the life-long road to recovery as they continue to live, work, and play in their communities.

The Bridge Way School strives to empower students to continue their road to recovery beyond their attendance at our school as they continue onto another secondary school, college, or career.

“Bridge Way literally saved my life. I love you guys. You changed my life."
