Bridge Enhances Academic Enrichment and Socialization

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT:

Studies show that learning bridge can improve your child’s ability to perform better on standardized testing.  According to a study from Carlinville, Illinois, middle school children who learned bridge had test scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills that were 10-35% higher on the various subtests than their non-bridge playing peers.  One teenage bridge player interviewed commented that when taking the SAT he was able to concentrate longer and more intently than his peers.

SOCIALIZATION:

Bridge gives children an activity that allows them to meet, talk and play with others in a safe, controlled environment.  It also enables them to meet other children from other counties as well as other states as well as to talk and socialize with adults on a relatively equal footing.
