What Our Parents Say
Is it really that important for my son to attend a sports academy like Bridgedale Academy?
To say we are overwhelmed at what has happened to the boys in such a short period of time is understatement. Please indulge me as we list some of the positive attributes that have developed in just 7 months: 1. Increased self confidence as individuals. Both are making decisions quicker and more freely for themselves. 2. Character development on and off the ice. Both have strengthened their mental strength to make right decisions in adverse situations and not succumb to peer pressure. 3. Personal responsibility has increased. They are quicker to be aware of what is going on around them and be part of a solution and not being a problem. 4. Increased academically. They both care about their grades and monitor their progress and strived to be their best. 5. Their hockey skills ….this can’t even quantified. The growth disparity from when both started to now is immeasurable. It’s mind blowing. Being at Bridgedale has opened many doors for both boys for hockey. Josh has moved up to what I believe as one of the top 2011 goalies in the country. These aren’t actually my words but from coaches. Jacob, what can we say, wow, he is showing some serious skills and looks to be carving out his own path to playing exceptional hockey. 6. Their personal responsibility growth, for their own actions, as a classmate, teammate, student and as an individual has been outstanding. Both boys love Bridgedale. They never complained about getting up at 5:30 am to go to school. Never complained about school. Rather just the opposite. We are still in shock over it all.

Just wanted to send a quick note to say thanks to you and the teachers at Bridgedale. Noah has been there for about a month now and I can't tell you how happy April and I are about the decision we made to send him there. It certainly has been an adjustment for him, especially to the amount of time he spends on homework, but he hasn't complained once.

The Bridgedale Academy teachers and staff have been nothing short of amazing (during this COVID-19 crisis)! They have continued to keep my son Ian's education and dry-land training a top priority.
These leaders have added a structured "normal" schedule to my son's day-to-day routine in what seems to be the most trying and unprecedented times of his life.

Deciding to have Dominick attend Bridgegdale was the best decision we have made for him. Thank you for all you have done for Dom. I can't say enough about the education he received. We are sad to be leaving, but you all have greatly prepared Dom for whatever comes next.

Not only were we pleasantly surprised by the incredible education Jack was receiving but even more excited as we continued to see him grow and develop as a hockey player. It was then it was confirmed to us that we made the right decision to send him to Bridgedale Academy.

I cannot thank the Bridgedale staff and coaches enough for setting the standard and groundwork for my son Tanner. He is a wonderful product of Bridgedale Academy. His success at school and hockey, and the fine young man he has become, is a true testament to Bridgedale Academy.

We have the full intentions to keep Tyler at Bridgedale next year and for as many years after. Bridgedale has been my MOST favorite experience thus far. The schooling environment, ethics and overall leadership teaching that Tyler has been privileged to partake in have blown me away.

I’ve never seen my son so happy, so confident, so responsible, and so willing to get up a 5:30am! He loves his new friends, adores his teachers, and feels like Bridgedale is home. I do not have to ask him to do homework or study for a test, it’s done. And already his hockey has improved by leaps and bounds.

Bridgedale has been a positive influence on Braden. He wants to go to the school as long as he can. The atmosphere promotes dedication to hockey and academics. Headmaster Mike McPartlin teaches the boys respect, he gives and receives respect. Thank you for all you do.
