Scholars Program:
4th - 8th

  • Scholars Program runs Monday - Thursday from 3:30 - 5:30 (2:30 - 4:30pm on Wednesdays).
  • 4th - 6th graders meet 2 days per week, and 7th - 8th grade students meet 4 days.
  • We provide transportation from Bayside MLK and Willow Creek Academy.
  • A daily healthy meal is served (and is the highlight of program for many!)

Be prepared, work hard, be kind! That’s our credo in the Scholars Program, which serves 4th-8th grade students. Led by our incredible teachers and supported by volunteer tutors, our programs meet at our Marin City Center in grade-level classrooms. These programs focus on academic skill building and homework support.

Through our partnerships with the schools, we are able to deepen our understanding of individual needs. We help students begin to find their voice and develop self-advocacy skills, which are crucial aspects of social-emotional learning and academic success.

For those needing additional support and attention, we offer our Scholars 1:1 Program where students are paired with a volunteer tutor for weekly sessions throughout the school year. We believe in the immense power of human connection, and we believe, wholeheartedly, in the ability of our Scholars!

I like Bridge the Gap because it’s really fun and we get to read and play games.

When I go to Bridge the Gap I get all the help I need, so I can go to school and actually understand the subject fully.

Always remember that Bridge the Gap is family. They will help you even if you’re in a bad place. It’s good to know Bridge the Gap is there and that they care for you.
