From Humble Beginnings to Educational Excellence
A Passion for Freedom in Education
Bridgeway Academy began with a desire to support parents who were joining the homeschool revolution at at time when they had few resources, limited options and in some states, a legal battle to win. With a strong conviction about individualized education, Robert and Linda Salzman started the Academy in the basement of their home.
And their approach was unique–a homeschool academy committed to freedom, peace of mind, and most importantly meeting the individual needs of each and every student.
Jessica Parnell was fortunate to join her parents in starting Bridgeway Academy. As a teacher, her passion for education was well underway and her vision for inspiring excellence in every student could be traced back to her father’s daily reminder: “You are great!”
To this day, the desire to help each student discover and pursue their personal excellence remains core to Bridgeway Academy.
Here every student benefits from an educational path that leverages their strengths, helps them overcome performance gaps, and inspires them to make a difference in the world around them!
Helping Students Recognize Their Personal Excellence
Bridgeway’s Day 1 Discovery is unique in its ability to align each student with their own personalized path to success.
