ThrivePoint Academy Brings Innovative Hybrid & Online School to Utah

Written by Taylor Smith | Jun 26, 2025 6:39:28 PM

ThrivePoint Academy, a tuition-free public charter school, is proud to announce the opening of its first Utah location in West Jordan, offering a flexible and personalized education model for students in grades 7–12. As a new online school in Utah, ThrivePoint provides a unique blend of online learning and in-person support through its hybrid charter school model.

 

Flexible Learning Meets Personalized Support

At its core, ThrivePoint Academy is built to support students who may not thrive in traditional classrooms. The new West Jordan campus, located at 1589 W 9000 S, offers a flexible learning experience through both online coursework and required on-site attendance twice a week. This hybrid approach ensures that students benefit from the independence of virtual learning while still receiving critical face-to-face instruction and mentorship.

Every student at ThrivePoint is paired with a dedicated success coach and teacher, creating a strong foundation of academic and emotional support. The school’s model is ideal for students who need flexibility due to personal, academic, or career-related goals.

“Our programs are designed to empower students by offering them the flexibility, guidance, and resources they need to excel—no matter their circumstances,” said Shannon Smith, CEO of ThrivePoint Academy.

Preparing Students for the Real World

What sets ThrivePoint apart from other online schools in Utah is its emphasis on career and college readiness. The school’s Next Big Step (NBS) program is a workforce development initiative that allows students to explore career paths, build real-world skills, and even gain job experience while still in school. Whether a student is planning to enter the workforce directly after graduation or pursue higher education, ThrivePoint helps them prepare for success.

The curriculum is designed around six-week learning blocks, where students focus on just two classes at a time. This allows for deeper learning, less daily overwhelm, and greater focus—especially important for students juggling outside responsibilities.

 

Making an Impact in Utah

With over 20 years of experience and a proven track record of student success in other states, ThrivePoint Academy’s expansion into Utah is a significant milestone. The school was recently featured in Utah Business and on KUTV’s Fresh Living, highlighting its role as a promising new alternative for students and families seeking flexible, innovative education.

As enrollment opens for Fall 2025, families in West Jordan and surrounding areas now have access to a hybrid charter school that truly puts students first.
