City Academy has been a charter school in Salt Lake City for more than 20 years with a reputation of bringing out the best in each of our students. As a public school we offer tuition-free schooling, but as an independent public school we can offer effective and meaningful teaching and learning that is designed for our students. 



We offer a typical school experience but on a smaller, personalized scale. We have everything! But we do it differently. Our students enjoy our flexible schedules, culture of belonging, small class sizes, built-in support, and our commitment to allowing them to start where they are and produce the best work they can.
