HCPS’ Bridge Builders Academy features virtual and in-person discussions with experts on a host of topics, designed to connect HCPS families with information they need. The sessions are categorized in four “learning strands”:
Beyond the Classroom
Equity, Diversity and Opportunity
Exceptional Education
Information, Access and Opportunities
The series is presented by HCPS’ Department of Family and Community Engagement and the HCPS Family and Educator Resource Center. For more information about the Family and Educator Resource Center, visit the center’s webpage.

Beyond the Classroom (BTC)
Whether learning happens virtually or in person, conditions outside the class environment affect each student’s ability to thrive. “Beyond the Classroom” workshops give you new ways to support your learner at home and in the community.
Diversity, Equity and Opportunity (DEO)
These workshops aim to empower students and families, and foster better practices of diversity, equity and inclusion for our youth, adults and community.
Exceptional Education (ExED)
Exceptional education services can be challenging to navigate. These sessions help families understand the exceptional education system and find the resources they need to better support their learners
Information, Access and Opportunities (IAO)
Discover the wealth of resources available to families in our community. These workshops connect parents, guardians, and educators with important information and services from HCPS experts and organizations in the Richmond region.
