Parents The bridge allows students, from the fourth year, to develop, in a fun way, the qualities of concentration, analysis, autonomy, initiative and memorization. It also helps social development by being the only sport of the mind to practice with a partner. Many schools, colleges and high schools have tested  and implemented bridge courses.

The bridge is an excellent working tool in the framework of interdisciplinary practical lessons (EPI) and personalized accompaniments (AP). It can be easily associated with math but also with history, French and even foreign languages. The FFB trains teachers of the National Education, provided them with material to integrate the bridge in their course. The FFB has thus trained more than 1000 teachers … Students Improve your average math, it is possible thanks to the bridge.
