FAQ
Teachers
Bridges Connects chooses classes based on the interests and talents of its members. The classes and activities are led and taught by parents who are part of the cooperative, leveraging their skills and knowledge to enrich the homeschooling community.
Special needs, can they come?
Yes, your child with special needs is welcome at Bridges Connects! The cooperative supports the entire family, including those with special needs. To best accommodate your child, it would be important to have an open conversation about their specific needs and discuss creative ways to effectively include them in the learning environment. This ensures that they receive the support and resources necessary to thrive alongside their peers.
Is this a drop-off program or do I have to stay?
Unlike Bridges' other program, Bridges Connects is NOT a drop-off program, as we emphasizes the role of parents in the education of their children, in line with our faith-based values. HOWEVER, the cooperative understands the unique challenges faced by some families, such as those with single parents, and both parents working full-time. To maintain a supportive and involved community, the program encourages parents, when possible to volunteer or arrange for a grandparent or friend to assist and participate in cooperative activities. This involvement helps foster a strong, collaborative environment for both the children and the broader community. If this is not possible due to your circumstances please reach out. Bridges other programs may be able to support your families needs.
Our family wants to meet other kids and families, is this something you provide?
Yes! That is one of our primary goals! Through our unique structure and connection Bridges Connects actively facilitates opportunities for families to meet and build relationships with other like-minded families who share similar values focused on faith and education. The cooperative not only provides structured activities during connects days but also encourages families to connect outside of these times. This approach helps create a large, supportive network and community, enhancing the homeschooling experience through shared learning and growth in faith and Christ.
