School Notes

Located in Lima, Ohio, Golden Bridge Academy is a non-profit, private school for students in pre-school through 6th grade.
The premise behind the teaching at GBA is that all children learn at their own rate.
When given the opportunity to do this there is a genuine and lasting love of learning that is instilled at an early age and extends throughout life.
At Golden Bridge learning is hands on and developmentally appropriate.
Our mission is to help students learn in an environment that stimulates them to move, explore, have self-directed choices and a sense of competence in each of the completed activities.
In addition each student should have inner control over their emotions and be able to cognitively and emotionally start at their skill level and progress at their own rate.
