First, it’s best to address the elephants in the room about summer school: Is my child going to like it? Isn’t summer school boring? Isn’t summer school a punishment?
Yes, your kids are probably going to love it. And no, Wasatch Academy’s summer school programs are far from boring. And they are definitely not a punishment.
These are completely different from other summer schools in the state or even nationwide. It’s the incredible adventures that make Wasatch Academy’s summer programs so much more.

The summer school schedule is the perfect balance of academics afternoon adventure. With the small class sizes, teachers are able to give each student one-on-one time. That way they can be successful in their boarding summer school learning. Students can even earn semester credits when they attend the full six-week Summer Experience. And the programs will help students catch up on their education. All without sacrificing that valuable summer adventure time.

The two different summer school programs at Wasatch Academy are the ‘Summer Experience’ and the ‘Summer Dash’. While some students are looking to recover credits, others are looking to improve their academics in a specific subject without sacrificing their opportunity for a summer adventure! The six-week Summer Experience would be ideal for a student that needs to recover credits while enjoying a lot of fun activities this summer and exploring the outdoors. Subsequently, the two three-week Summer Dash programs are great for students interested in better understanding concepts and ideas that they struggle with during a typical school year.
Then after school, that’s when the fun starts. Students are able to go swimming, rock climbing, hiking, golfing, and biking just to name a few. Then they will also be able to literally explore Utah!
