Our Philosophy
Why are we called "The Bridge Academy"?
What it's all about...
Our 'mascot' poem answers this query beautifully:
Vision From Us:
To prepare students to become the intellectual, social and Christian leaders of tomorrow:
To this end we will endeavour to work with the parents to develop their children to:
- relate well to others
- be servant-hearted and
- equipped with useful life skills.
Our Beliefs:
We believe strongly in the individual bent (Proverbs 22:6) of children, and aim to adapt their learning so that it is in keeping with their God-given characteristics and abilities.
Moreover, we believe that children are “born persons” and not merely containers to be filled with information.
We believe that God has given parents the mandate to take full responsibility for the education and training of their children. Whether some of this task is delegated to others is a personal choice but the responsibility for the decision remains with the parents. Thus the school’s role will be to support parents as they endeavour to carry this out.
