“Middlebridge is about developing kind, caring humans who can function in the world and can face challenges.”
– Mac Z., Class of 2018
A college preparatory coeducational boarding and day school for students ages 13-18 with learning differences. Highly individualized education promotes students' academic performance, emotional intelligence, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
Traditionally, the Middlebridge student presents with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or written expression, attentional diagnoses such as ADD/ADHD, Executive Dysfunction, and/or challenges with processing speed or working memory.
Middlebridge is a haven for learning, growing, and belonging. Our multifaceted, integrated, and holistic approach creates confident and capable students who embrace educational opportunities, community engagement, and leadership.
