What our alumni are saying
Alysa
Syracuse University, BA Film Production
Cinemaphotographer
"The Bridges Academy gave me a solid foundation to succeed in high school and college. What truly made Bridges so special for me was that in 7th grade I joined the film club and to my surprise began my passion for filmmaking. I am now a cinemaphotographer working on films, documentaries and commercials. Bridges gave me the opportunity to explore a subject outside the classroom, which ended up being a game changer for me."
Michael
The Webb Institute,
BS Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering
Employed at Bruce S. Rosenblatt & Associates, LLC
"I attended St. Peter's, now The Bridges Academy, from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school prepared me for future academic work by encouraging strong academic values and integrity. The teachers were able to focus on me and my classmates due to small class size, and their attention really showed. The efforts of the Bridges Academy have propelled me in a way nobody could have predicted, as I’m now a graduate of Webb Institute. With a dual degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, I’m prepared to start my career in the marine industry, which was only made possible with the education I received. As I pursue my future, I’ll be sure to remember the school that set my foundation."
Rosanne
University of Miami, BA, Business Adminstration
St. Thomas University Law College, JD Law
Assistant State Attorney, 15th Judicial Court, Palm Beach Florida
"The Bridges Academy developed my character and started my academic career and my love of learning. This school excels in individual attention and close relationships with teachers and students. Everyone can benefit from this school because of the personalized classroom experience. Coming to this school won’t make you just another student, but rather make you a member of a big happy family! I’m so grateful to The Bridges Academy for all the wonderful memories I have and the advantage it has given me in high school and college. I’m sure this school will lead many children to success and I wish the best of luck to its future. I want to thank everyone here for making my childhood wonderful and my future bright. I love this school and I’m sure you will too."
Juliet
Cornell University, Bachelor in Electrical and Computer Engineering - IBM Hardware Developer
I have to thank the Bridges Academy for the drive and courage that I have today. From the moment the school was founded, there was a whole team of parents who were so passionate about their children’s futures. As I progress further into my own career, I always think back to the moms and teachers who worked so hard for their community. I want my work to make the world a better place, and the Bridges Academy modeled that to me everyday I was there."

Magna Cum Laude from Sacred Heart University
Currently pursuing a Masters in Science in Cancer Epidemiology at Georgetown University
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Sacred Heart University in 2024 and am now living in Washington, DC. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Science in Cancer Epidemiology at Georgetown University. I am actively applying for my doctorate to pursue a career in cancer research.
Even though I spent only one year at The Bridges Academy, it played a key role in shaping my character by encouraging resilience and a positive attitude. That experience gave me the confidence and foundational knowledge that supported my growth through high school and into college.
