The Bridges Program serves to support students in our AP (Advanced Placement) and IB Diploma Program.
We achieve this with a summer session which creates supportive relationships with faculty, new friendships between students and leadership opportunities for participants. Throughout the year, the Bridges cohort meets for monthly lunchtime check-ins; two college visits over the year, regular study sessions, research trips and more exposure to leadership opportunities within Shaker Heights and our larger Cleveland community.
We have had our first cohorts graduate with acceptances and scholarships at top Universities in Ohio, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. Once students participate in Bridges, over 90% continue to take courses in the Honors, AP, and IB Diploma Program.
The Summer Bridges Experience is a two week program connected with academic year enrichment at Shaker Heights High School, which began in 2016. The summer program runs 2 weeks in June and aims to develop study skills, enhance students’ mindset for academic progress, and introduce the content for AP and IB Diploma level courses. The year-long Program caters to students in order to foster success and a passion for learning. Students and faculty meet monthly during the school year, enriching learning strategies and techniques for success employed by both groups to increase student success.
