A New Approach to Learning

Starting August 2025, ThrivePoint Academy of Utah—a newly approved public charter school—will open its doors in West Jordan, Utah. Serving students in grades 7–12, ThrivePoint brings over 30 years of proven success from other states, offering a flexible and student-focused approach to education.

Learning Center Coordinator, Taylor Smith, recently shared with Kari Hawker-Diaz, how ThrivePoint Academy of Utah's innovative model is designed to support students who thrive outside of traditional classrooms.

ThrivePoint Academy features both online and hybrid learning, with a unique two-class, six-week schedule that helps students stay engaged and succeed. In addition, ThrivePoint Academy's Next Big Step (NBS) program connects students to career opportunities through guest speakers, hands-on field trips, and community events.
