Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your school different from other private elementary schools?

We focus on strong academics, small class sizes, and learning that feels meaningful rather than rushed or trend-driven. Our approach emphasizes real work, hands-on learning, and thoughtful structure—learn more on our Academics page or in A Small School by Design | A Different Kind of School Experience.

How do you approach STEM education in the elementary years?

STEM learning is hands-on and practical, with students coding, building robots, designing and 3D printing models, and working with electrical circuits alongside math and science fundamentals. Our philosophy is explained further in Why STEM Matters in Elementary School.

Do you use project-based learning?

Yes. Students learn through meaningful projects that involve problem-solving, collaboration, revision, and real-world applications. Students are encouraged to take the lead, work through challenges, and learn from mistakes, with teachers guiding the process rather than directing every step. You can learn more about our intentional approach in Project-Based Learning That Is Truly Student-Driven.

How do you support gifted and advanced learners?

Rather than pull-out programs or labels, we challenge all students through depth, open-ended tasks, enrichment clusters, and flexible pacing. Learn more on our Gifted and Talented Education page.

Is your approach similar to Montessori?

While we are not a Montessori school, our classrooms reflect many Montessori-inspired practices such as independence, hands-on materials, and respect for child development. Read more about how our approaches are similar in Montessori-Inspired, But Not Montessori: Our Thoughtful Approach to Learning.

What grades do you serve, and how big are class sizes?

We serve elementary-aged students (K-6th) and intentionally keep class sizes small so teachers can know students well and adjust instruction as needed. You can read more about our class sizes in Why Small Class Sizes Matter in Schools.

How does your school handle assessment and testing?

We use assessments to inform instruction and measure growth, not to dominate the school day. We use mastery-based grading with portfolio-based assessments along with norm-referenced tests. Our approach prioritizes understanding, feedback, and progress. Learn more about how we handle assessment and testing in Using Data to Support Learning—Without Losing the Whole Child.

Is the Utah Fits All Scholarship accepted?

How do families know if this school is the right fit?

The best way to decide is by understanding our values, approach, and expectations. We encourage families to explore our Our Story, Mission & Vision, and Meet Our Team pages before reaching out or taking a tour.

How do you teach entrepreneurship in elementary school?

We teach entrepreneurship through hands-on, real-world experiences where students create and refine actual business ideas. Entrepreneurship is woven into project-based learning and enrichment opportunities, allowing students to practice communication, problem-solving, math, writing, and presentation skills in meaningful ways. This philosophy is explored more fully in Elementary Students Have the Brain of an Entrepreneur and Why Building a Real Business Brings Elementary Learning to Life.
