Located on a peaceful Oakland campus in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to 580, Bridges offers a calm, supportive setting serving K-12 students with high staff-to-student ratios. Our flexible, multidisciplinary approach allows us to meet students where they are-whether they need stabilization, a step-down from a more intensive setting, or time to reset and heal-so they can build the skills and confidence to return to a less restrictive environment. The name “Bridges” reflects our purpose: helping students move from where they are to where they want to be. If you're passionate about equity, collaboration, and showing up for students in their hardest moments, Bridges offers a meaningful place to do powerful work.
