In Oregon, once a school district has 3% or more of its students enrolled in a "virtual public charter school", it can deny requests. Bridge Charter Academy is not considered a virtual public charter school and this DOES NOT apply to our school - you may enroll at BCA regardless of the 3% rule.

BCA will continue to accept applications and start a wait list if a class is full. For the most recent wait list information, please call 541-937-5200.

Enrolled families can access the Family Portal through this link: https://bcafamilyportal.my.stacker.app You can also find the link in the weekly email and on the top right corner of our website.

Every enrolled student is assigned a Parent Liaison—your go-to contact for support with your student’s file, account and allotment information, technology questions, general school details, and other administrative needs. They’re here to help guide you through the logistics so you can focus on your student’s learning experience.

BCA’s K–8 Curriculum Coordinators and High School Subject Area Specialists partner with parents to create a personalized Planned Course of Study (PCS)—a year-long academic plan designed to support rigorous and motivating instruction. The PCS covers the four core subject areas and allows families to choose the curriculum that best fits their student’s needs: Language Arts: Reading, Writing & Composition, Grammar, and Spelling (optional for Kindergarten) Math Science Social Studies

A cohort is a small group of students who attend a weekly, 3-hour class led by their licensed teacher (Learning Coordinator) and includes time spent learning with peers. These sessions are designed to be engaging and project-based, fostering collaboration and connection. Class sizes are intentionally small to support personalized learning: K–8th grade: 1 teacher per 12 students High school: 1 teacher per 18 students Each cohort includes a blend of neighboring grade levels to support social learning and academic growth. Grade Bands: Kindergarten 1st–2nd grade 3rd–4th grade 5th–6th grade 7th–8th grade 9th–12th grade

A Learning Coordinator (LC) is your K–8th grade child’s cohort teacher. They lead weekly in-person classes and support students and families throughout the school year. In High School, the cohort is called Academy Base Camp or Timberline, and the instructor during that time is known as an Educational Coach (EC). ECs not only lead these in-person sessions but also meet with students in weekly Zoom check-ins to provide additional support and guidance. A Subject Area Specialist is a certified high school teacher who provides instruction, support, and grading in a specific subject area. They’re available to help students with coursework, answer questions, and ensure academic success in their designated subjects.

BCA is a tuition-free public charter school. Each K–12 student receives an $800 annual allotment—funds designated to support their personalized educational journey. These funds can be used for a wide range of approved educational expenses, including curriculum, fine arts courses, music lessons, tutoring, supplemental materials, and more. Students must be actively participating and following program guidelines in order to access and use allotment funds.

"A charter school in Oregon is a public school operated by a group of parents, teachers and/or community members as a semi-autonomous school of choice within a school district. It is given the authority to operate under a contract or "charter" between the members of the charter school community and the local board of education (sponsor). Under Oregon law, a charter school is a separate legal entity operating under a binding agreement with a sponsor. A public charter school is subject to certain laws pertaining to school district public schools, is released from others and must operate consistent with the charter agreement." Oregon.gov
