Under its master plan umbrella, the Bridgeland community offers much more than a roadmap to satisfy the physical needs of everyday life — well-placed homes, plentiful amenities, nearby retail, etc. — but also a plan to meet residents’ intellectual needs, with its “Cradle to Career and Beyond” approach to education.
And that’s Bridgeland Difference No. 3.
“Bridgeland Differences” is a campaign highlighting the many thoughtful features of the community, such as 60 miles of interconnecting trails, free use of recreational equipment and underground power lines. The “Cradle to Career and Beyond” education plan places a priority on accessible schools that suit a variety of needs. In addition to space for six new on-site elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school, the community’s master plan pinpoints locations for preschools, private schools and special education facilities. Continuing adult education classes will be offered at Bridgeland activity centers. In addition, the community is exploring an innovative system of college education by utilizing a University Center, similar to The Woodlands’, that would provide a single campus for both associate degrees and full four-year degrees. Bridgeland also hopes to provide for private schools and/or pursue the possibility of a charter school.
