What we do

​​January 24 - January 31  - Each applicant’s documentation is carefully reviewed by our admissions team and learning specialist to determine our ability to fully meet their needs.  Be sure to read the Who We Serve section of the website to understand who our program can best serve and the services we do not have the skill set to provide.

February 10- March 8 - We invite prospective students for a two-day shadow (see Student Shadow Visit below).  We also meet with parents 1:1 to answer outstanding questions and learn more about parents' hopes and expectations from North Bridge Academy.

March 8th - March 19th – Our team convenes to make final admissions placement decisions, determine financial awards, facilitate conversations between prospective parents, current parent and/or alum and answer questions or supply additional information to prospective parents. 

​

March 19 - We announce placement decisions by email by 4pm. 

Student Shadow Visit - Students participate in a two-consecutive day visit. They are invited to participate in all classroom and school activities.  During their visit students have ample time to connect with their teacher and peers, to become comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, to enjoy several enrichment classes and to develop a thoughtful impression about what makes our community unique.  Visiting students will not be called on to answer questions, to complete assignments or to read aloud. 

Students will be given a brief individual assessment in math and reading by a learning specialist. It takes between 20-30 minutes. The assessments are not graded. They are confidential and for school use only.  We use them to form a baseline understanding of a child’s abilities in spelling, reading and math.
