Aspen Achievement Academy

Emotional & Behavioral Health Impacts Academic Performance

The academic program at Aspen Achievement Academy is designed to complement the therapeutic objectives of the program and promote positive learning experiences. The outdoor classroom provides a diverse physical setting that allows students to learn geology by studying rock strata and fossils, astronomy by looking into the clear night skies, biology through study of local plants and animals. This "hands-on" experiential approach makes learning interesting and fun. It facilitates positive personal growth while enabling students to relate knowledge from books to real life experiences.

The curriculum focuses on English, Social Studies, General Science, and Physical Education. Students must complete written educational modules, in addition to experiential activities, in order to receive credits. They will receive .25 Utah credits for each course completed or .50 credits in any 2 of the 4 subject areas offered, thus they can earn up to 1 Utah credit (I Utah credit is equal to 1 0 California credits). All credits earned are transferable to the student's home school.

Aspen's curriculum, with its experiential approach, teaches students personal responsibility and provides students with the opportunity for a successful educational experience. Students graduate from Aspen with a renewed sense of hope and enthusiasm for the learning process. This enables them to go on to other learning environments with the groundwork laid for continued academic growth and success.

Aspen Achievement Academy is licensed by the Utah State Board of Education as a Special Alternative School and is licensed by the Utah State Department of Education as a residential treatment center.
