CITY ACADEMY - Utah School District

About School District: City Academy is a public charter school open since 2000 and located in downtown Salt Lake City. We began with 60 students in 7th and 8th grades and then have added grade levels and students each year. Educators from the University of Utah's College of Education using research-based best practices for effective and equitable secondary education founded our school. We are an independent public high school chartered by the Utah State Office of Education with highly qualified teachers in every classroom, and small classes so that teachers can work more personally with each student. City Academy is unique in providing a learning environment focused on students developing and demonstrating knowledge and competencies in academic areas as well as in personal citizenship. Our award winning teachers create a very personalized and challenging learning community for our students. We know our graduates are prepared for college because they have accomplished challenging graduation requirements that include foreign language, extended years of math and laboratory science, and service learning. City Academy graduates will have submitted academic papers through Cambridge International Examinations, the international gold-standard in advanced placement programs for high school students, completed community internships, and presented a comprehensive personal portfolio. City Academy graduates are recognized with a College Ready Diploma and the City Academy I'm Ready $1,000 College Scholarship. Our Mission at City Academy is to create and sustain a model secondary public school where all students are engaged in academically rigorous, civically oriented curriculum; critical and creative thinking; and authentic learning in a personalized educational environment.
