Kids with emotional and behavioral challenges have a pretty steep mountain to climb…

But they can succeed if they get extra help from experienced professionals, individual counseling, structured days and a caring environment.

We’re proud of what we offer our students and what we have accomplished.  Over the decades,we have had a huge impact on the lives of students with special needs in New Jersey, allowing them to transform lives of frustration into a lives of hope.

Our unique program gives kids the attention, support, and focus they need.  Our extremely dedicated staff goes the extra mile every day to ensure they stay on track.  But we can’t do it without your help.

We count on individuals like yourself to support the important work of giving to the students who need it the most.  So please help us help our kids.  You’ll be glad you did, especially when you see the smiles on our kids’ faces, the pride in their achievements, and the clear path to a brighter future.

Your support of Westbridge Academy helps children to overcome their challenges and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

At Westbridge Academy, we’ve been helping our kids get on track for 50 years.

Each year, Westbridge Academy depends on the Annual Appeal for revenue beyond tuition to support the many academic and award-winning therapeutic programs offered to our students. Now more than ever, children’s mental health has reached a crisis point. Together, we can join hands in helping K-12 students become better equipped in meeting life’s demands and develop the necessary skills to experience success. There has never been a better time or greater need than right now to support our school.

Westbridge Academy has been a leader in mental health services and special education for five decades. We are a nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) special education K-12 school serving children, adolescents and young adults with complex emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities. Accredited by the NJ Department of Education, we serve students between the ages of 5-21 from eight counties in northern and central New Jersey.

Your support is invaluable. We are proud to say that over 90% of our students have successfully returned to their public schools, gone on for vocational training, entered the work force, or continued with their post-secondary studies.

Our annual campaign is underway. We accept donations on our website or by mail. We’re very happy to report that Westbridge Academy has reached a generous matching grant challenge in support of our “Save the Music” initiative. Our challenge amount of $10,000 toward the development of our media, video and music production facility that was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in September 2021 has been doubled to $20,000. Thank you to all our donors who helped us meet this important match challenge so quickly!

And our 50th Anniversary Gala was a great success. Now our 50th Anniversary Annual campaign continues.
