Small Classes

Classes Are Small by Design

At City Academy, class size does not exceed 25 students. Small class sizes allow every student the opportunity to establish a trusting relationship with a teacher and we are committed to ensuring that individual learning styles are effectively accommodated. In particular, small classes are designed to:

1) Support Academic Progress and college preparation

2) Educate the Whole Person by providing a safe environment for students' social and emotional growth as they explore issues of adolescence with their peers and adults

3) Encourage Active & Responsible Citizenship by providing a forum to practice being a proactive member of a larger community

4) Strengthen Family and School Communication by providing a more personalized communication link between school and home. [back to top]

Pomotion and Graduation

Graduating From City Academy

Students and classes are grouped by divisions at City Academy.  Each student must continue to make progress and meet the requirements in each of our three divisions. Division I includes students in 7th and 8th grades; Division II includes students in 9th and 10th grades, and Division III includes students in 11th and 12th grades. Each of the three divisions requires the annual completion of a student portfolio.

Along with a graduation portfolio, our graduation credit requirements are higher than those set by the state with a total of 28 required for graduation. The State of Utah also requires students to pass all three sections of the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT), or attempt the tests at least three times in order to receive a high school diploma. Below is a description of the requirements for promotion from Divisions I & II and graduation requirements for Division III. [back to top]
