While the online platform itself is…

While the online platform itself is easy to navigate without latency or crashes, your content is very 1980 OSHA Safety video-esque. The instruction is not engaging, it bores me to tears as an adult - I can’t imagine how kids do ya on this content more than 10 min max. You charge a fair amount of money for the program, perhaps look into gamification or other ways to make this an interactive learning experience besides quizzes. There is a lack of video and story telling, it’s basically teacher narration and it’s mediocre.

Thank you for your input. We now offer 3 different online platforms for classes: Edgenuity, Ignitia, and Odysseyware. These are all carefully vetted to ensure that your student is getting the best, most up-to-date lessons and knowledge in a fun, engaging manner. We'd be happy to have your advisor speak to you about the different platforms to see if one might be a better fit for your student.

Professional and Supportive

I am a South African, working in Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, international schooling here is not an option. So, after spending months researching online schools - I involved my daughter in the process: I checked credibility, accreditation etc, while she looked at lesson demos, etc - we chose Bridgeway. They are efficient and professional, their website is not complicated to use, and her academic advisor, Stacey, is extremely supportive and responsive. All in all I have to say that Bridgeway is helping my child become an independent learner.

Best Choice for Homeschool

I thoroughly enjoyed my homeschool experience. All of my advisors were so nice and helpful. I got to participate in an online class this year and loved that experience as well.

Great overall; Mixed up curriculum

Everything is well done. However, the curriculum is mixed up. Science and Social Studies have the same things sometimes, just at different times. Other times, things that should be in Science are in Social Studies, or vice versa. But everything else is awesome.

Bridgeway's mixed books and online…

Bridgeway's mixed books and online program has been a blessing for my family. I have been able to work at his grade level which varies from 4th to 6th grade and adjust accordingly to his needs. The advisers are extremely helpful, and if they cannot answer questions directly, they always speak with someone who can, and get back to me.

I love the help I receive in picking curriculum for my son, and I am thankful for that. We are signed up for the full package, but have had a terrible time over the last year being able to connect with our advisor when we have a question. Also, having online access to our grades is not helpful because they are only completely updated once per year. That defeats the purpose for me. I will not be coming back next year, unless I just use Bridgeway to pick curriculum and don’t use the advisors for help during the semester. Everyone is always friendly and I want to give a good review, but I am just being honest.

Hi Amy,

We are sorry that you have had issues reaching your advisor. While your advisor was on maternity leave this past fall, you should have heard from the advisor who was covering in your advisor's absence. We will reach out to both advisors to let them know that they need to be more timely in responding to emails and will work to remedy this situation. Again, our apologies.

Our overall experience has been amazing. This is a great option for anyone with no where to turn, having a kid that struggles. It gives parents hope and allows kids to find a way to grow and learn their way... 'outside of the box'.

Bridgeway is wonderful

Bridgeway is wonderful! This is our fourth year with Bridgeway and they have delivered. I have a Middle School student and High School. Our advisors have been great to work with, especially our High School. She worked with us to ensure my Son had all the credits he needed for graduation as well as college. She has sent transcripts to all the colleges he has applied to in addition to giving us transcripts at the end of each semester.

This was the best decision we made

This was the best decision we made! We researched all accredited online homeschools and felt this was the best choice, and it was! My two boys are in middle school and they are enjoying this better than the private school they were at. No distractions from other students, or teachers screaming at the class! My kids are able to work in peace and stress free, which has boosted their confidence and improved their approach towards school. They have learned a lot of fine details because this program does a great job at covering everything and not just a vague lesson. We wish we had done this much earlier!

Bridgeway is great

I am extremely please with Bridgeway Academy. My son is very comfortable yet challenged with the curriculum. Our Councelor Stacey Hughes is amazing, she is very informative and responds back to us very quickly. I recommend this school to anybody who is looking to homeschool their child.

High Quality Homeschool Program

The curriculum is top notch and truly individualized for your student according to learning style and academic ability. I like that they work with a variety of publishers, and you can choose to do the accredited program. Under the accredited program, my child is assigned a teacher that helps us with questions and keeps track with grades. When we need help, her responses are prompt and clearly answers our questions. We have the ability to call or email her, which is very convenient. You can choose to learn with only textbook programs, all online, or a blend of the two. We are using the blended program, and it is a nice balance of physical textbooks and online learning.

Other people have said Bridgeway is pricey, but if you want structure and a ready to go curriculum without having to do the planning, I feel it is a good value. Plus, you are getting teacher support and a transcript at the end of the year. I feel it is money well spent.

I really like Bridgeway as a whole

I really like Bridgeway as a whole. I had input on our curriculum and our year has gone very well. I gave 4 stars because I see areas that can be improved.
I’d really like a call scheduled automatically scheduled with our advisor once per month to review progress and ask questions.
I have had some trouble with the online math tests not accepting correct answers so we do paper tests. When we submit the paper tests, there is no option to add a second page so I end up submitting each page separately as if it were a different test.
Teacher’s guides are difficult to find to check answers. I still have not found the one for Science or Math. Good thing it is 4th grade work!

Overall, we are very happy and plan on re-enrolling in the full program.
