-A parentI have been at this school for 2 years now with my daughter. I toured the school with the previous principal, Mrs. Barnett. She was a love but retired. The assistant principal which was guided under her took over and she is great! It has been such a great transition for my daughter and the staff is so loving and welcoming. From the top of the totem pole (principal) to the administration, the teachers, the cafeteria personnel, and janitors! I feel my daughter is safe and I leave knowing that if anything happens they call right away, even for the smallest incident!

From day one that I walked into Bridgeprep it was very welcoming. From the office clerk to the principal which was recently in the holidays. The school is huge and has great classroom sizes. The teachers are all qualified and the school is accredited. Principal is strict but respectful and warm. I am so glad that I made this choice. Wish I had made it sooner.

I had my first encounter with the principal and it was a truly unpleasant experience. Instead of providing me information in a cordial manner she had a harsh tone and seemed irritated. keep in mind that I was there for less the 5 minutes. This is unacceptable behavior, specially coming from a principal.

I must say Bridgepoint has been the most disappointing experience we have had. The take scholarshipsFrom McKay and smart start. During you interview you will be told all teachers are certified, they are not actually I think they only have one teacher with an actual teaching degree. They have many students with special need and there are no resources available. The children are not properly placed and they only have one class per grade which means they are all taught at the same level. The internet portal that is used to check your child’s grads is updated every few months so you have no clue of how your child is doing. They have and get a grade on computer lab, there computers have been broken for a few years now so they do silent reading, again am not sure what the grade is for.. When you visit the first time it is like buying a car they sell you a lie and yes I will say sell because it is a business and a poorly run one at that. If you are considering Bridgepoint please do your home work you will be surprised that 80 % of the parents do not like it but have trouble pulling the kids out and of course the kids want to stay it’s a walk in the park oh and no homework ever I mean ever… if your child has special needs know that they will NOT be taken into consideration in any way…. Good luck hope this helps I wish I would have known.. it’s a business… not an education…

Love this School. My son came to this school very afraid because of bulling at public school. Now he is totally recovered, stronger, happy and a secure kid, ready to go back at public school for High School next year. Excellent academic program. The best environment for a child.Thank you Mrs. Barnett and Teachers.

This school is the best! My daughter was having a hard time in the public school and was way to stressed out. Here she is challenged academically but yet worked with individually to strengthen her weaknesses, and feels so self confident. The emphasis is on the individual student. The teachers and staff take such great care in making sure each child makes their individual gains. We are very happy here!

I love that it goes from preschool to 8th grade! It is a great small school environment where every child feels valued. The school is filled with enrichments, great caring staff, fun activities for the entire family, and all in a beautiful campus. The preschool curriculum really prepares the kids for successs and the students love going to school.

My children have never been been happier. I feel blessed that they have the opportunity to be exposed to such a great program and be a part of such a wonderful school.

I love the emphasis placed on learning and the incorporation of Spanish. Music and art classes are great as well as all the enrichments that are offered. Parental support is growing strong which will only make the program even better.

This school is the best kept secret in Miami. The facility is beautiful and the environment is always so clean. Everyone is always so positive and happy and are always available to help. I am so happy that my child is in a school that has it all. Challenging curriculum, small class size, positive influences, great variety of elective classes, tutoring, enrichment classes, you name it they have it!

Disappointed. School owes my daughter money since May as of yet funds not received. Seems to be more interest in Money than in Child.
