Algebra Bridge Online is a three-week summer course (15 days) covering second-semester Algebra 1. The course is taken as a refresher or review of an Algebra 1 course previously completed. Algebra Bridge is specifically designed to review the major concepts of Algebra, especially in the second semester.

Students receive no credit for this course, but they can enroll in Geometry or Honors Geometry on-ground based on their grade. Students must pass the course with a grade of 70% to enroll in Geometry, or they must pass the course with an 90% to enroll in Honors Geometry.

The course is mastery-based, meaning that each concept must be mastered before moving on to the next concept. Students can expect to spend approximately four hours per day reviewing and practicing concepts, checking their understanding, and taking checkpoint quizzes and exams. Each checkpoint and exam can be taken unlimited times, but students must score 80% or higher to move on to the next concept.
