"I cannot express how lucky we
feel to have found your school. You had a wonderful
vision and the students and teachers are merely a
testament to that. Thank you so very much"
~Meg LaBarbara (Samantha's Mom)
"I
just wanted to inform you that Tara was accepted to
Laguardia and Frank Sinatra High Schools. She was very
excited to be accepted. She also received a full
scholarship to a Private School in our neighborhood....
She is going to attend the private school. Thanks
so much to giving her the opportunity to excel....
~
Celeste Platania (Tara's Mom)
"To
all at Bridgeview;
I
am proud to tell you that Kaitlin has been accepted by
both the LaGuardia School and the Frank Sinatra School of
the Arts based upon her portfolio and the instruction
received at Bridgeview this past summer and fall. In
addition, Kate was accepted by Bronx High School of
Science as a result of the citiwide test. She has until
the 26th of February to finalize her decision; and it
will be her decision. Thank you again. All her options
are excelent and the artistic ones are largely from
her experience at Bridgeview. I think she will chose
LaGuardia because the art studio program there is in
the atelier manner just as at Bridgeview, and the
academics are equally strong.

This program was designed by Polina Osnachuk, an experienced and talented teacher and artist. The program is based on the time-tested methods developed by the Russian schools for artistically gifted children, and adapted for special needs of American schools and colleges. Students accomplish a series of assignments in a specific progression, from the easier to the more complex ones.
In the course of the program, children will acquire a strong foundation in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Composition. A multi-media approach will help them gain confidence with varied materials, including oil and acrylic paints, water-color, pencil, charcoal and pastels, clay and plastiline.They will work from life and from imagination. Subject matter includes still life, portrait and clothed figure. The atmosphere is informal, but serious. We also help with portfolio preparation.
