The Bridge School is reopening admissions. It is a year-round, ASL-only, voice-off school for Deaf Autistic, Hard of Hearing and nonspeaking students, in session now with its current students, and new students start the moment the Launch Fund is met and the first three desks are sponsored. Families never pay. Two funds make that possible, raised separately because they pay for different things.

The Launch Fund: $60,000. The campaign runs through December 2026, and the school opens to new students the moment the fund is met and three desks are sponsored. It covers one-time costs to open in a permanent location: facility setup, security cameras and A/V for a visual-language classroom, staff recruitment and crisis-prevention certification, and shared classroom materials. Full Founding Partner $12,000. Half Founding Partner $6,000. Quarter Founding Partner $3,000. Gifts of any size count toward the fund. Founding Partners are recognized on our About Us page, on a plaque at the school once the building opens, and in a social media thank-you.

Desk Sponsorship: $35,000 per student, per year. A desk is one student's full year: instruction at a 1:3 ratio or better, the student's share of rent with insurance built in, and the equipment that student needs. A desk can be closed or open. A closed desk seats a student connected to the sponsor: a tribal nation's enrolled member, an employee's family member, or a district's student, with AMM confirming the fit. An open desk seats any student who needs it. Nine desks are open for the first cohort: three for students already enrolled, six for students who need a place. One sponsor can take a whole desk, or several can share an open one. The Adult Training Position is a hybrid student-staff role and is not a sponsored desk.

Desk sponsors receive their logo on the desk, on the student's annual report, and on the main pages of this site; a plaque at the school once the building opens; the back page and closing slide of AMM workshop materials; and a social media thank-you. On a shared open desk, the desk and report logo go to a sponsor funding the whole desk.

Workshop Sponsorship Fund: any amount. It pays for AMM workshops at schools, clinics, and organizations that cannot afford them.

Space. The largest open item is a location between Ardmore and Ada. A classroom-ready building at reduced rent moves admissions forward more than a check for the same amount.
