“This is the first time I’ve been to school in the last five years.” – Zakia, Afghan Student

Zakia’s story is not so uncommon. There are approximately 30,000 Afghans residing in just one of India’s major cities. Six thousand of them are high school aged youth.

​

To address this need, Bridges Academy started a GED-based high school for Afghans living in India. In addition to academics, they are also mentored in character building and servant leadership training.
