Founded in 1875, Wasatch Academy, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, is a college and life-preparatory boarding and day school for students grades 8-12 and postgraduates where every student is welcomed as they are and empowered to discover who they want to be. We provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment that prepares students to do good in our highly connected world through shared experiences.
Our 7:1 student to teacher ratio makes room for individualized academic attention. Learning coaches are
available to assist students with best practices for their personal learning skills and to teach them self-advocacy. Our hands-on Engineering and Creative Arts programs in robust maker-spaces give students room to push what’s possible with the guidance of expert teaching. Outdoor adventures and learning in Utah’s backcountry sparks confidence and opens minds to new passions and purpose.
Wasatch Academy best lives its mission, values, and commitment to social responsibility when everyone knows they belong in our school community. We are committed to respecting and valuing each individual for their unique experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, and identities. This commitment demands courageous conversations that constantly challenge us to examine the alignment of our policies, practices, and curriculum in support of each community member’s actualization of their best selves.
