Westbridge Academy

Westbridge Academy is a special education school in Bloomfield, NJ serving students in grades 3–12 with mild learning differences. The school's core mission is to help students strengthen academic and social skills through a blend of therapeutic and educational intervention, preparing them to return to public school, pursue vocational training, or continue to post-secondary education.

The school also offers summer programming and a post-graduate year option for students who need additional time to transition successfully.
