I have absolutely loved my experience so far at Utah Arts Academy. Every club and team I have tried out for have welcomed me so much. Every time I see one of the admin they always say hi and talk to me. It’s great to see all the diversity at this school and everyone is always welcome! The teachers are always pushing me to be my best and work hard. On the Utah Arts Academy Instagram page they post every team/clubs event and never forget one! They support every group and attend every event they can. One thing I would like to see changed is making our school bigger. Right now it’s pretty small because it is a charter school, but if there were more students there would be a bigger pool of talent and diversity. But with that, Utah Arts Academy still has the best students and staff!
Amazing school with great teachers, faculty, course selection, and culture! We moved here from out-of-state so our daughter could start 9th grade at UAA last fall and have been so impressed with the school. The academics side is top notch and our daughter is learning real life skills and creative expression in a safe and challenging environment. Would highly recommend to others and suggest anyone considering to go take a tour!
My experience here has been amazing, and it looks like it'll only be getting better. The teachers know how to teach in a way that's understandable and inclusive. They give us all the information they can about the subject they're teaching. Drew - our principle - looks at what other arts schools are doing and follows in their footsteps (putting his own unique spin on it in the process). He always shows his passion for the arts in everything he does and wants us to succeed.
From what I've seen, the students and teachers here treat everyone with equal respect and kindness. This is this first school I've been to where I can feel safe from bullying and harmful judgement. It's been awesome and I can't wait to move forward!
