Welcome to L Bridge!

 

Welcome to L Bridge Language Academy! We’re Mary and Vidya, the co-headteachers, and we're excited to introduce you to our school!

 

At L Bridge, we believe language is a bridge to creativity, global leadership, and a brighter future. Our mission is to help elementary and middle school students connect English not just with exams and test scores, but also as a way to share ideas, build relationships, and discover new opportunities.

 

We focus on moving away from outdated methods that rely heavily on memorization and test-taking. Instead, we emphasize the practical use of English in real-life situations through our reading, writing, listening, and speaking classes. We’re excited to guide our students on this journey and help them grow into confident, creative, and capable global leaders!

Our Curriculum and Programs
