Questions
Before you hit the trail
Any K-12 student in Utah - homeschool families, public and private school students, and anyone who wants electives or experiences their current school does not offer. Courses are supplemental, so they fit alongside whatever schooling you already do.
High school students choose at registration whether a course is for graduation credit or enrichment. Where a course offers dual college credit, that option is clearly marked. Certificates and credit documentation are downloadable from the student dashboard.
Small groups of 5-12 students working on authentic projects - not lectures. Depending on the course, you might meet fully online, hybrid, in person, or outdoors with community and business partners.
Teachers apply with their background, resume, certifications, and a sample lesson idea. Once approved, they get a dashboard to propose courses, set schedules and pricing, manage rosters, and track payouts.
Each instructor sets their course price, which is shown up front when you browse. Families register and pay online, and any required permission slips or waivers are signed digitally in the same step.
