Bridgeway Academy is a full-day private school program for children with autism and other developmental disabilities that follows a traditional academic year calendar. Bridgeway Academy features small classroom sizes and unparalleled low student-to-teacher ratios for students in preschool through age 21, providing an unprecedented opportunity for learning. As part of our unique approach, students enrolled in the Academy have an opportunity to receive therapies (Speech, Music, Occupational, and Physical) during the school day through the Bridgeway Therapy Center.
Consultation and Assessment by Board Certified Behavior Analysts, the Family Partnership Services Program, Life and Vocational Skills, and Transition-To-Adulthood services are also offered to students enrolled in the Academy.
Bridgeway Academy utilizes the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which research has shown to be the most effective treatment for autism. Classrooms provide individualized instruction based on each student’s need and learning style with curriculum adapted from the State of Ohio Academic Content Standards.

Funding
At Bridgeway Academy we are constantly working to serve as many families as we possibly can. In order to do that, we accept the following funding sources:
Autism Scholarship
The Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) gives the parents of children with autism who qualify for a scholarship the choice to send the child to a special education program other than the one operated by the school district of residence to receive their education and the services outlined in the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Autism Education Plan (AEP).
Jon Peterson Scholarship
The Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program (JPSN) provides scholarships to students who are eligible from age three (3) through twenty-one (21) and have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from their public school district. The award amount of each scholarship will be based on the primary disability condition identified in the student’s Evaluation Team Report.
