gearing up

for
the
future

It has been a very busy time for Utah Mountain School.  We have been working diligently with our developer to secure a GREAT location for our wonderful school, but it has proven very difficult due to a number of reasons.  Unfortunately, the time frame for UMS to open August of this year is too short, so we are working with the State Charter School Board to delay our opening until August 2021.  Though this has been a very difficult decision for us to make, we feel it is in the best interest of UMS, as well as future students, families, faculty, and staff.

UMS is a tuition free, public junior high charter school aimed at helping students bridge the divide between wilderness and community. Through a curriculum focused on project-based learning and outdoor education, along with acute aerobic exercise, students will engage with nature and activate their minds to discover the world around them and the individual within.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in UMS and the possibility of joining the UMS family.  Please keep in touch!

Administrators, faculty, and staff all play very important roles in students' lives. At UMS, we see ourselves as role models who bring out the best in students and encourage them to strive for greatness. We share our knowledge and help them to become better people.

As important as it is, just being where students are is not enough.  Instead, we create expectations that we will have a place in each student's life (and those of their families) as they transition from class to class, grade to grade, and on to high school. 

It truly takes a village to educate students.  Teachers to administrators.  Board members to staff.  There will be a lot of adults committed to making each student's experience at Utah Mountain School productive and safe--as unique as each student who walks through the doors of UMS.
