As a senior at the Utah County Academy of Sciences (UCAS), I have loved being part of this school since I was admitted as a freshman. The teachers and faculty members are very supportive and deeply care about each student's success. I have made some of my closest friends here and found a deep passion for learning. It is an amazing school for anyone who wants to push themselves academically while making meaningful connections with their peers.

I love this school so much, I've never felt so at home like I do here. I never thought I could enjoy school so much, but the classes are great, the faculty Is greater, and the teachers are just amazing, there isn't a word to describe just how amazing they are. I love how it's connected to UVU and UVU is easily accessible, but one thing I don't like is how lightly they take concerns. I have had a few troubling experiences with other students in my 2 years there, and while the staff seem to care, they don't actually do much.
4/5/2024
The teachers and student culture are fantastic, but the immense peer pressure of other students to perform perfectly.

There is a lot of competitiveness and secret jealousy...

I often hear how differen...

My school is Utah County Academy of Sceinces (UCAS). UCAS is a early college prep high school where student can work to earn their associates degree--paid for by the school--so they can graduate with their degree and diploma when they are finished with school. The faculty at this school really care...

My daughter's experience at UCAS was excellent. She received her Associate Degree one month before she graduated from high school. The quality of education was superb and provided her with the solid foundation she needed to transfer to BYU. Her teachers took the time to get to know her and to help h...
