Middlebridge is a college preparatory, coeducational boarding and day school for bright students ages 13-18, and postgraduates, who learn differently.
We offer a highly personalized, college-preparatory education that strengthens academic skills, builds emotional intelligence, and inspires a lifelong love of learning.
Our students are bright, capable, college-bound teens. Our students often come to us with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia, as well as challenges with attention, executive functioning, or school-related anxiety. At Middlebridge, these differences are understood, embraced, and supported.
More than just a school, Middlebridge is a place where students are seen, heard, and celebrated. Our holistic and integrated approach empowers young people to discover their strengths, grow with purpose, and lead with confidence, in the classroom and beyond.
