General Educational Development (GED)
We utilize the GED prep material and curriculum for our core subjects due to the transitory nature of the refugee life. This test allows them the needed credentials to apply to a variety of colleges internationally.
The GED is used in the USA as a standardized test for individualized who did not graduate with a high school diploma. It is recognized by nearly all colleges in the U.S. and Canada and serves as a bench mark for acceptance. The following link shows additional colleges throughout the world that accept the GED test: https://ged.com/en/university-acceptance/
National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT)
In addition to the GED material, the comprehensive NCERT syllabus is also used in curriculum planning, as is standard of all schools in Delhi.
National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS)
We strive to ensure that our students are equipped to take the National Institute of Open Schooling Test for the 10th grade and 12th grade testing periods. These are the Indian qualifying exams for university.
Beyond Academics
We strive to make our academics go beyond the classroom, to impact and change the entire individual. We seek to challenge the students to think deeper and more critically.
Our school day goes from 9:00am – 2:00pm with one 30 minute lunch break. This provides plenty of time for students to have extracurricular activities and fulfill family responsibilities. Our staff is deeply committed to the students, some even giving their free time to invest more into their lives, opening up their homes to them, playing sports together and pouring into their overall development.
Extra classes are available from 2:00pm-4:00pm throughout the week including 3 different language classes, music and arts programs, math and technology skills, and teachings on moral values.
At Bridges Academy it is so much more than just about the books and curriculum taught. We care about the whole person and helping them and their families build towards a brighter future.
