style;assessment;identifies;the;teaching
style that resonates with your child, and
makes even the most reluctant learner
eager to learn more. And for those that
are new to homeschooling, an evaluation
of transcripts. If your child is passing cur-rent;courses,;we’ll;create;a;program;that
covers the second half of the course. If
not,;we’ll;help;them;find;the;curriculum
that;will;fill;in;the;academic;gaps.;Un-like;many;other;homeschool;academies,
Bridgeway advisors pull curriculum
from;more;than;30;publishers--ensuring
that your child can identify with the cur-riculum;they’re;using--instead;of;being
stuck;with;something;that;simply;doesn’t
work;for;them.;Parental;input;regarding
curriculum is always welcomed. In the
odd;chance;that;you;find;the;curriculum
selected;for;your;child;isn’t;a;good;fit,
Bridgeway;will;replace;it;with;something
that is. Guaranteed.
Not Just a Stack of Books
While some children learn best with
good old-fashioned books, in today’s
technological world, there are a lot that
don’t.;That’s;why;Bridgeway;offers;op-tions when it comes to how curriculum
is delivered. Families can choose to en-roll;in;online-only;programs,;textbook-only programs or a combination of the
two.;Then;for;those;seeking;interactive
learning opportunities, there are Student Learning Labs—a student and parent favorite. These live, interactive on-line;classes;are;led;by;engaging,;certified
teachers and enjoyed by students from
all over the world. The subject matter?
Think Architecture Through Brick-Building,;Website;Design,;Backyard;Bi-ology, Social Studies Through the Magic
Treehouse;Series,;and;you’ve;got;the;right
idea. This is where visual, auditory and
sensory-oriented learners all thrive and
where creativity and project-oriented
learning collide. It’s just another way
Bridgeway;customizes;your;child’s;edu-cation;and;unlocks;their;potential.
Support
Truth be told, a lot of homeschooling fam-ilies;feel;isolated.;But;not;Bridgeway;fami-lies. Support is invaluable to your home-schooling;success,;so;we;make;certain;to
provide every bit of support you need.
First, you can count on the fact that
you’ll have one advisor that you can
lean;on;when;questions;arise.;You;won’t
be funneled through to a call center.
And when you reach out for support,
you’ll;get;it;via;email,;phone;or;Skype,
whichever;works;best;for;you.;Further-
more,;we’ll;furnish;you;with;day-to-day
instructor guides, a parent handbook,
weekly;emails;with;homeschooling;tips,
our robust blog, and access to our pri-
vate online learning management system
that;keeps;you;in;the;know.;In;the;inter-
est;of;making;sure;your;needs;are;being
met, we also hold quarterly one-on-one
parent/advisor meetings to review your
child’s;progress;and;discuss;strategies;for
improvement. In addition, students have
the opportunity to contact their advisor
directly for assistance--something older
students really appreciate. We encour-
age student/advisor discussion because
it;helps;students;develop;the;confidence
to ask questions and to develop email
and phone etiquette---something a lot of
children;simply;don’t;learn;anymore.;We
also invite students to participate in our
lively;Facebook;community,;run;for;class
officer;positions,;participate;in;upcoming
virtual and live events, and enter contests
and more.
