Bridge School - Fifth Chair Foundation

Welcome to the Bridge School area of the Fifth Chair Foundation! The Bridge School is currently a series of 16 introductory-level lessons on many different aspects of bridge. Each lesson also comes with a quiz that allows you to check your progress. The lessons on bidding in this section are based on commonly accepted American bidding styles with 5 card majors.

The lessons do not need to be taken in order; if there is a specific aspect of your game you'd like to work on, simply go to the lesson you'd like to practice.

In addition to this series of lessons our Archives have dozens of PDF documents on all sorts of bridge related topics, many of which are geared for more advanced players.
