Central Valley Math Bridge
College Bridge has partnered with the Central Valley Higher Education Consortium (CVHEC), Fresno Pacific University, and the Rand Corporation to develop a CV Math Bridge model with up to seven colleges and their respective high schools in California’s rural Central Valley.
Several strategic grants provide funding: the US DOE’s Education Innovation and Research program’s Rural Postsecondary & Economic Development (RPED) grant, the Central San Joaquin Valley K-16 Partnership and the WE Will! K-16 Workforce and Education Collaborative Grant.
The first round of high schools in the partner colleges’ service area were recruited in 2023, and implementation of the model began in Fall 2024. Additional high were added to the project in Spring 2025.
High schools interested in this project can inquire at info@college-bridge.org.

What is Math Bridge?
The CV Math Bridge program is a strategic initiative, led by College Bridge, that is designed to align high school and college math pathways, creating a smooth and supported transition for students. As part of our mission to remove barriers and expand opportunities, CV Math Bridge provides a credit-bearing academic intervention that helps students strengthen their math skills while preparing them for college success.
CV Math Bridge activities include:
- Identify high school students who are struggling in mathematics.
- Design targeted interventions that blend high school and college math coursework.
- Facilitate collaboration between high school and college faculty teams to review student work and continuously improve instruction.
By providing students the opportunity to experience college-level content while still benefiting from the support of their high school instructors, the CV Math Bridge program bridges the gap between high school and post-secondary education. The partnership between high school and college faculty ensures that students gain the confidence, preparation, and guidance they need to succeed. Math Bridge is not simply a course; it’s a model for how educational systems can work together to eliminate barriers and open doors for student achievement.
