Meaningful Academics
Learning is Central
Learning is investigative
Learning is personal and real
Learning progress is expected
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. Our curriculum driven by guiding questions enables each student to learn how to think independently, to develop knowledge, to find their voice, and to write and speak well.
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
01
Small Class Sizes
Our smaller class sizes between 10-20 students, allow each student to have more personalized teacher attention that supports better learning progress.
02
Flexible Schedules
Our flexible approach to scheduling and course programs allows individual students to accomplish their personal educational goals during high school.

Real World Experiences

We have provided over 170 organizations in the community with over 25,000 hours of service from our students.
