Bridges Institute
Building Bridges Through Language, Confidence, and Connection
Bridges Institute by Mubadalah Group is a leading educational organization dedicated to helping students develop practical English communication skills through authentic, engaging, and immersive learning experiences.
Since 2014, Bridges has partnered with the Israeli Ministry of Education, municipalities, schools, community centers, and educational organizations throughout the Negev to provide innovative English programs led primarily by native English- speaking educators from the United States.
We proudly serve both Arab and Jewish communities, creating opportunities for students to build communication skills, confidence, cultural awareness, and meaningful connections with the wider world.
Our Mission
To empower students through authentic English communication experiences that build confidence, curiosity, cultural understanding, and real-world communication skills.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every student has the opportunity to communicate confidently in English, access global opportunities, and participate actively in an increasingly interconnected world.
The Challenge
Many students spend years studying English through textbooks, grammar exercises, and traditional classroom instruction. Yet despite years of study, many students still struggle to speak confidently and communicate with native speakers.
Our Approach
At Bridges, communication comes first. Students learn through conversation, storytelling, games, role-play, problem-solving activities, interactive challenges, movement-based learning, team activities, cultural exchange experiences, and authentic communication with native speakers.
Why Native English-Speaking Educators Matter
Students benefit from authentic pronunciation, natural expressions and vocabulary, real-world communication practice, increased listening comprehension, greater confidence speaking with foreigners, and exposure to different cultures and perspectives.
Our Impact

50+ Schools and Educational Institutions

Building Bridges Through Education
English is a bridge to opportunity, confidence, communication, and cultural understanding. When students learn to communicate, they gain more than a language—they gain access to a wider world.
