Pre-Requisites: Because we want our students to have an experience that allows for their writing skills to be taken to the next level, a writing sample using writing prompts provided by Bridge Academy is required from any student who has not taken an English class with us in the previous year and who would like to enroll in a high school level English course. If you are interested in your student enrolling in this course and your student is currently enrolled in an English course at Bridge Academy, their current English instructor or Alicia Collins can help determine the next best English course for them. If you wish your student to take this course but they are not enrolled at Bridge, please contact Alicia Collins at bridgeacademy@comcast.net or Emily Kirtlan @etkirtlan@gmail.com to set up an appointment to have your student complete and submit their writing sample.
