Personally I loved my time at Wasatch Academy, especially the engineering department and the art departments. Because of these I've been able to explore art mediums I would've never thought I liked, and I'm very grateful for the teachers I had there. The community is very nice, as you can always easily communicate with teachers when you need to. The students were mostly nice, some had problems in the dorms, and the food can be bad some of the days, but those are really my only two complaints.

while the campus is nice, ther is nothing to do in the town around. In terms of social scene it's OK although most people you will encounter are breaking the rules one way or another. There is not a lot of supervision. The teachers are amazing though. There's not that many clubs to do, and often I find myself not having a lot of time outside of school to hang out with friends because I feel burnt out from a long day. There are not as many opportunities at the school advertises. Safety wise the school could definitely improve. the area around Is not that safe and you can expect to encounter some red necks. The food is OK. The school is easy to get into. It admits anyone who Has not been in jail. At the end of the day walking away from the school, though I think it was good for one year. It taught me a lot of things however like how to be independent and self-reliant, it definitely was not the best environment. in my opinion, there is not a lot of school spirit and really no dances

Only driven by money, with completely untrained and unprofessional administration. Coming from someone who went there for 6 years.

This school is the best thing that has happened to my son and for our family. It is a remarkable school. Very diverse, children from 30 countries. Amazing facilities, equestrian, music, fine arts, sports, robotics - something for every child. Because the size of the school is 250-300 students, it is...

My daughter has attended WA for three years. The staff, teachers and everyone at WA welcomed her. Each dorm (which is more like a house) has a dorm parent; each student is assigned an advisor; and the teachers have study halls each evening. The head of school, Joe Loftin, knows every student and par...

I attended Wasatch beginning July of 2010. First couple weeks were fine, nothing too exciting. On the third week, however, I was confronted by a student who accused me of submitting a complaint of their substance use on school grounds (which I had no knowledge of). I was beaten by two students for n...

They don't offer a "one size fits all" education. I have never met a more caring staff.
