Enrichment & Bridging Programs

What Are Enrichment & Bridging Programs?

Enrichment and bridging programs support students in transitioning from high school to university. These programs help boost academic skills, explore university-level learning, and sometimes even offer credit toward a degree.

They’re great for students who want to strengthen their applications, improve grades, or gain confidence before starting post-secondary education.
