Bridge Builder Academy

Bridge Builder Academy is a "home-school school" that sends certified teachers to you! Our purpose is to comfortably challenge students by providing the highest quality of individualized education within a student's "least restrictive" environment. This is usually the home.

We look at each student and create goals which focus on that student's specific needs and areas of improvement. This is more than just academic goals! We can develop goals for social skills, study skills, and other life skills whenever needed.

We are bringing the world to your student every session. Our teachers are equipped with the best resources and manipulatives to do the job right, so that every student has everything they will need right there without distraction or social pressure. Unlike busy tutorial centers or crowded classrooms, we can create the most comfortably challenging environment for your child. Usually that's the home, but no matter where it is we keep our student teacher ratio at one-to-one.

Yes! Primarily your home is our classroom, but we also have a working classroom available at the BBA office where we can provide the exact same personalized instruction in a completely neutral environment for those who would prefer it! Call us today and ask about using our classroom for your sessions instead!

In many ways both! We have the validity and structure of a school with a growing curriculum library, FULLY certified teachers, accredited curriculum, and full time school administration; but we provide the flexibility and convenience of in-home educators! Most other private tutors are "degreed", but this does not mean education CERTIFIED. Ours are REAL teachers with years of experience and professional training and development with access to our many school resources. We use all types of curriculum and methods, but as a "special project" of TTU-ISD or through University of Nebraska, Lincoln, we offer Pre-K through 12th grade college prep diploma programs that are fully accredited and NCAA certified.

ONE TO ONE. We tailor our program for each and every student so that it is always a perfect fit, matching the teacher to the student and not the other way around. Unlike the major tutorial centers, we never put more than one student with a teacher except by your request in unique situations such as with twins or family members on EXACTLY the same level.

We are here to provide the BEST instruction and curriculum that education has to offer, which is why we hire education specialists, not just teachers. Our state and internationally certified teachers are the experts in their fields, many with multiple certifications and degrees in adjacent fields, including graduate and post-graduate specializations. See our staff page to learn more about our fantastic teachers!

Individualized instruction and goals allow us to focus all of our attention on YOUR student. This means that we can accomplish more effectively in about one fifth of the time what a traditional classroom teacher can. We don't just say it, we GUARANTEE it. Plus, our online lesson plan and checklist interface make communication and homework a breeze and you are always a click away from the next lesson or the grade book.

Yes! We have special discounted and compacted semester programs for students who need to make up or get ahead with a credit or two any time of the year using our accredited and fully transferable distance learning curriculum.

Yes! We understand that giftedness consists of not only natural ability, but motivation and environment as well! We are GT certified and specialize in differentiation, curriculum compacting, curriculum acceleration and other specialized modifications for GT. We cater to students working beyond their expected grade-levels as well as career kids and those just looking for some great one on one enrichment! We specialize in motivating gifted "underachievers" and accommodating gifted "perfectionists".

Yes! We are Special Ed. certified and specialize in students with ADD, ADHD, PDD, and Autism as well as other learning differences. We have lots of experience with students of mixed levels as well as those who are twice-exceptional. Our highly successful "Language Intervention Program" is geared towards preschool children with language delays, many of whom have Autism or other language delays.

Your student's tuition is very individualized just like the rest of the program. Tuiton is based on a sliding scale of hourly prices between $55 and $80 per hour, and while you are always free to adjust your program hours as needed, your student's tuition scale is guaranteed to never increase for as long as they are a student with us. We also offer discount incentives for those who pre-pay monthly - and we NEVER ask for the whole year's tuition up front, though the yearly bottom line price for a full-time program is comparable to the tuition of local private schools and our hourly rate is lower than most tutoring centers! Call us today for an accurate and guaranteed price quote for your desired program.

We stand by our reputation and our success, but we also back up our service with an unconditional guarantee. If you don't see improvement after 30 days with us, you don't pay. Period.
