ThrivePoint Academy of Utah Featured on KUTV: How Our Free Charter School Helps Students Thrive

ThrivePoint Academy of Utah is a tuition-free public charter school for Utah students in grades 7-12, offering flexible online and on-campus learning with a dedicated coach for every student. We recently shared our story with KUTV’s Fresh Living, and you can watch the interview below. 

 

What Is ThrivePoint Academy of Utah?

ThrivePoint Academy of Utah is a free, accredited alternative to traditional school for students in grades 7-12. Students can learn online or on campus at our West Jordan location. Whether a student needs a fresh start, a personalized learning plan, or a more supportive environment, our team helps them move toward graduation and their Next Big Step.

 

Highlights From the KUTV Interview

Jasmin Zures, School Director, joined KUTV to explain how ThrivePoint works and who it serves. Key takeaways:

  • Student Success Coaches. Every student is paired with a coach who provides weekly support, guidance, and advocacy. With a 50:1 student-to-coach ratio, students get real attention. Meet our coaches.
  • A focused two-class, six-week model. Students take two classes at a time in six-week terms, which helps them concentrate and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
  • Individualized learning plans. Instructors build a plan around each student’s goals, from catching up on credits to preparing for college or a career.
  • An accredited curriculum. Students have access to a broad selection of courses taught by dedicated teachers. Explore our curriculum.
  • Connection beyond the screen. Monthly activities, field trips, college visits, and career exploration events keep students engaged with each other and with their futures.

Planning for the Next Big Step

Every ThrivePoint student works toward a Next Big Step (NBS): college, a career, or another goal that comes after graduation. Academics, leadership, and extracurriculars help students get there. Find your Next Big Step.

 

Who Is ThrivePoint a Good Fit For?

ThrivePoint works well for students who:

  • Need a fresh start or are returning to school after time away
  • Have fallen behind on credits and want to get back on track for graduation
  •  Want to move ahead faster, with advanced coursework, self-paced options, and six-week terms that let them keep earning credits as they go 
  • Are navigating personal challenges and need emotional and academic support
  • Learn best with smaller classes and one-on-one help
  • Are motivated, independent learners who want a flexible, self-paced schedule alongside college prep, extracurriculars, or a busy life
