Break Free from the Classroom

21st Century Learning

Blue Bridge is a hands-on, cooperative learning community in Grand Rapids for learners ages 5–16.

  • Our Hybrid Online program offers a full K–8 online private school, grounded in hand-on, learner-led options—with a progressive, personalized approach. Children may attend classes in-person for enrichment, academic support, and social activities on Tuesday through Thursday and complete assignments and projects at home on the other days. You also have the option to join our family field trip days every first and third Monday of the month.

  • Choose from a variety of classes that fit your child’s passions or goals—whether it’s art, math, nature studies, or something new to try. This is perfect for families seeking a little variety or enrichment without a full-time schedule.

  • Our certified reading specialist works with homeschoolers and unschoolers on learning to read in a fun and engaging environment, using Orton-Gillingham aligned curriculum.

“We can best help children learn, not by deciding what we think they should learn and thinking of ingenious ways to teach it to them, but by making the world, as far as we can, accessible to them, paying serious attention to what they do, answering their questions -- if they have any -- and helping them explore the things they are most interested in.”
