About Bridgeway Academy

A Passion for Freedom in Education

A Passion for Freedom in Education

Bridgeway Academy began with a desire to support parents who were joining the homeschool revolution at at time when they had few resources, limited options and in some states, a legal battle to win. With a strong conviction about individualized, Christian education, Robert and Linda Salzman started the Academy in the basement of their home.

Why Choose Bridgeway Academy

Homeschooling is difficult enough without going it alone. Decisions like curriculum, scheduling, record-keeping, and more can be overwhelming. Unless you have been around the homeschooling block a few times or are surrounded by homeschooling friends, you may be wondering, how am I going to do this? What you need is a dedicated, experienced homeschooling partner to guide you each step of the way.

Unparalleled Support

Many homeschool partners will promise to support you throughout your homeschooling year. However, what you’ll find is that their support is often limited.
You can look forward to a strong relationship with your advisor from the first call to graduation and beyond!

Flexibile, Customized Learning

Whether you’re just starting to homeschool or are a veteran, choosing the right curriculum or online courses makes all the difference in your child’s academic success. Finding the best homeschool curriculum is about so much more than content. It’s about values and learning styles, schedules and interests.

Proven Results

For more than 35 years, we’ve been supporting families and organizations through homeschooling and crafting rewarding homeschool experiences that fit each person’s unique needs and goals. And our approach works!
