At Wasatch Academy, learning is an experience. Our specialized style of project-based learning is creative but intensive and focuses on helping every student reach their highest potential in any given field.
Wasatch Academy students study topics in depth, exploring the intersection of ideas and disciplines. Along the way, students master core academic content and make valuable observations about how they learn. Students complete course requirements with a deep content understanding and personal ownership of their learning. They also gain respect for the environment and attain a powerful awareness of how communities are interconnected.
While at Wasatch Academy, you are given many opportunities to fill your resume with leadership positions, athletic participation, music involvement, art experience, community service, and much more. You learn personal and global responsibility through engaging classroom discussions, college counseling support, and real-life experiences of helping others inside and outside the school community.
Learning Services
Every student is an individual. The Learning Services program at Wasatch Academy emphasizes respect and dignity with a goal to build a positive community of learners who are recognized and appreciated for their unique learning abilities and styles.

One-on-one coaching, metacognition development, response inhibition, stronger emotional intelligence, and executive function activation.

Campus Life
Wasatch Academy welcomes students from 35 different countries and 30+ states. In our small and nurturing school community, we get to know you and everybody fits in. Students make life-long friends with their peers from all over the world.
Every student has an advisor that provides academic, social, and personal support. As you grow intellectually and socially, you come to understand yourself, your abilities, and envision the places you will go.

Outdoor Adventure
Wasatch Academy knows how to appreciate the great outdoors. Our location in central Utah gives Wasatch Academy a gateway to outdoor adventuring. Hiking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, camping...and so much more! With five national parks and the greatest snow on earth, Utah is a prime location for students looking to do more than just sit in a classroom.
"My experience outside the classroom surrounded by the incredible beauty of Utah pushed me to new heights and allowed me to learn more about who I am.” — Tenzin, India
Athletics
When it comes to athletics, we are all in! Being on a team teaches students much more than the basic fundamentals of how to kick a ball, swing a racket, or sink a basketball. While skill development and being physically fit are emphasized, much more is learned: how to be a team player, how to cooperate, and how to develop a healthy approach to competition.
Many of Wasatch Academy’s sports teams are top ranked within their leagues. It’s why we believe our athletic program is among the best in the US.
Students come to Wasatch Academy young and inexperienced, with a variety of backgrounds and differences. They are guided by hands that have forged the path before them. They are encouraged to be something more. Students discover their uniqueness.
We become something greater, something spectacular, ready to make our mark in the world. We are Wasatch Academy!
