Gesher2Gann
8th Grade Bridge to High School
2026–2027 School Year
Gann Academy is exploring Gesher2Gann, an 8th Grade Bridge to High School for the 2026–2027 school year. This program is designed for a small group of students who are planning to continue at Gann for Grade 9.
Gesher2Gann is a bridge year created in response to a unique moment in the local Jewish day school landscape, including the closing of MetroWest Jewish Day School and the middle school at Epstein Hillel.
The purpose is to provide students with a thoughtful academic, social, and emotional on-ramp into high school at Gann.Â
Who This Is For
Like the Gann Academy high school program, Gesher2Gann is a pluralistic program that welcomes Jewish families from all backgrounds and levels of observance. No prior Hebrew language experience is required.
Program Overview Students in Gesher2Gann would follow a full school-day schedule on Gann’s campus, with coursework and experiences intentionally designed to build high school readiness. The program is expected to include:
Individualized mathematics, with the option for accelerated students to take high school-level math
