School builds bridge to future

Bridges Academy, a private college-prep middle and high school in Studio City, has partnered with USC to create a certificate program to teach educators and other professionals how to work with gifted students who have learning differences.

The academy will host the national conference of the Association for Gifted, Underachieving Students in April 2008.
