Academic Environment

Park City Academy is a private boarding school for girls ages 13-18.  We offer academics for grades 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.  Our students live at our facility and we are not accepting students who live off-campus.

We are part of Park City Independent, accredited through AdvanceED. All of our courses are taught by accredited teachers who know how to build a rigorous curriculum and are constantly reaching out to our students to ensure their success.

Upon being admitted, students will meet with our Academic Director and determine a graduation plan.  We believe in challenging our students academically and helping them to engage with both teachers, tutors, and with the material they are learning.

On staff, we have a licensed nutritionist, outdoor recreation expert, physical education coach, licensed therapists, support staff, and teachers.  Our students receive a wide variety of services and are expected to rise to meet the challenges that face them.

Students at Park City Academy benefit from the natural outdoor setting of our school. With easy access to Utah’s mountains, students have the opportunity to explore incredible landscapes while working toward their educational goals. The area is known for its outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking.

Students are encouraged to nurture their individual interests whether it be in the great outdoors, creative pursuits, or otherwise. In addition to the accessibility of the outdoors, Park City also offers a vibrant art and music scene.
