Summer Bridge is a program whose goal is to assist dedicated students in improving their skills in ESL or Math. At the end of the program, the students will have an opportunity to be re-assessed to determine if they have placed higher in the subject area.
The Summer Bridge curriculum consists of two separate tracks: one for ESL and one for math. Each track also provides instruction in reading and college success skills. Students work with faculty from each discipline and are supported by tutors at all times.
