SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO CATCH UP OR GET AHEAD
For most, summer is a time to relax! At Bridging Gap, we encourage families and students to take breaks when they're needed, but we also believe in preparing today to succeed tomorrow. So, each year, we offer a short summer program for students who want to catch up on things they missed or families who want their child to be as prepared as possible for the next school year ahead. Here's a quick F.A.Q. for our summer program to give you all the information you need ahead of time:
- What's different about the summer program?
The summer program is much shorter than our traditional programs--lasting only through June and July (sometimes August depending on the start of different school years).
- What's the same about the summer program?
We still customize our summer programs to your child. Our summer program is not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. We still assess your child for where they are at individually, and then our certified teachers diagnose deficiencies and correct them. If your aim is to get ahead, we pull next-level curriculum to start them with so that they're ahead of the gang come day one.
- Will my child's teacher still be qualified?
Yes! All of our teachers are considered highly qualified with the Board of Education and have ample experience in remediation.
- Are the class sizes still small?
Yes! We believe it's easy for a child to get behind in a class with many other students, so we work hard to maintain a small student-to-teacher ratio (even during our summer classes). You will always get the highest caliber of educational expertise at our centers.
- Is space limited?
Yes! Our classes fill up fast in the summer as most parents are already looking for a way to help their child do their best next year. Therefore, it is imperative that you set up your registration as soon as you can! Families who register by April 15th this year will receive $50 off their fee.
- When does it start, where is it, and what grades are accepted?
Classes start the first week of June and are open to P-12 students at our Stockbridge, GA location.
- I'm in! What's next?
If you're ready to get started, snag your space today by applying on our website or calling our center's owner at 404.474.2663. We can't wait to see your smiling faces this summer!
Message from the CEO
Hello Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) Families!
We welcome back all our students for learning.
Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) values the safety of our students, teachers, staff and our parents, and that’s paramount — no exception.
As we strive to reopen our center for learning, we are making every effort to bring back our in-person classes as safely as possible — along with the option of virtual learning. We have always maintained a high level of cleanliness and sanitation, but now we’re going above and beyond to implement stricter standards.
New center policies include:
- Maintaining more than 6-7ft distance between students and teachers
- Sanitizing and disinfecting after every class
- All teachers, students, and staff will be required to wear masks at all times in the center
- Any child who shows signs of illness (or lives with others who show signs of illness) should refrain from coming to the center.
- Hand washing before and after the class
- Checking temperature of staff upon entering
This policy change will help us continue to meet the needs of our students while also keeping them safe. Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) is here to serve, and we’re so excited to be able to see our students continue their learning despite the difficulties being thrown at them during this trying time.
Together, we “Prepare Today…Succeed Tomorrow!”

CEO and Founder, Bridging Gap USA(BGAP)
