Bridge

Recognizing the need to offer support and guidance to the post high school residents, the Bridge Program was created. The Bridge Program at Saint Basil Academy provides a healthy and supportive environment that prepares young people in making the transition from adolescence to adulthood. It helps to develop responsibility, as well as organizational and social skills. Residents attend colleges and vocational programs and experience employment commitments. The Bridge Program helps Greek Orthodox Christian young people develop the skills and self-esteem needed to successfully work and live independently. 

Staff members are assigned as mentors to the young adult residents to assist with personal, career, educational and residential concerns. It has proven to be a model for this type of young adult

 programming. The Bridge Dorm residents can reside on campus (in a separate building from residential )and never have to worry about the stresses of

 providing a roof over their head ,utilities or food while advancing their lives. At the Academy they are provided these resources and are able to seek employment and contribute towards their secondary education.
