Our 7th grader has thrived at SLArts, and we've appreciated how seriously the school has taken COVID precautions. Academically the work is challenging and the teachers have high expectations, but the school also takes students' social-emotional health into account and implements multiple layers of support to ensure that kids are able to succeed.

I loved my time at the arts academy(we called it SLARTS), it prepared me so much for high school and I made so many friends. The academics were really great, I feel like I learned so so much, especially math and history. I didn't enjoy the dance or theatre teachers and although I had fun in theatre I don't think I learned much at all. I did like the music though. I made so many great lifetime friends there and I'll never forget my time there.

This is truly a gem in Salt Lake! Both of our kids are thriving at SLArts (5th and 7th grade). It's a middle school with a small-school feel. The teachers, principal and front office staff genuinely know and care about the kids. Academically our kids are challenged. The teachers put great thought in...

SLArts is the oldest public charter school in Utah and is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary. All three of my boys have attended all four years (5-8th) at SLArts. It’s been an outstanding school with dedicated faculty, low turnover, stellar arts curriculum including dance, music, visual arts an...
