Bio
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. We know our graduates are prepared for college because they have accomplished challenging graduation requirements that include extended years of math and science, foreign language, and service learning. City Academy graduates will have submitted academic papers through Cambridge International Exams, completed community internships, and presented a comprehensive personal portfolio. Our advisory program helps create a very personalized and challenging learning community.
