Bridges Outdoor School offers nature-based educational programs for children ages 3 through 5th grade, including preschool, full-time elementary, part-time enrichment, and summer camps. Intentionally small learning communities and low student-to-guide ratios allow every child to be deeply known, supported, and challenged as they grow.

​

Our privately-accredited elementary program integrates Iowa Academic Standards with inquiry-based, place-based, and project-based learning, creating academically rich experiences that nurture curiosity, confidence, and meaningful connection.

​

Whether attending full time or part time, students spend their days learning through meaningful relationships, hands-on experiences, and regular connection with the natural world.
