GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM
Utah Connections Academy keeps gifted and talented learners engaged so they can reach their full potential.
EMPOWERING ADVANCED LEARNERS
We Adapt Our Program to the Student, Not the Other Way Around
At Utah Connections Academy, we believe there are just as many ways to teach as there are to learn. That's why we give all our students the ability to make meaningful choices around curriculum, empowering them to take the courses that work best for them.
Along with core classes and a wide variety of electives, Connections Academy® offers gifted and talented, honors, special education, and Advanced Placement® courses. These courses were built to inspire a lifelong love for learning and help students reach their highest potential.
ADVANCED PROGRAMS
Helping Your Student Learn How They Learn Best
We believe in trusting and supporting students to take ownership of their own educational journey. This highly personalized approach to learning especially helps our gifted and talented students thrive. Educators and families work together to develop a personalized learning plan for each student.
One of the top questions we get from parents during the enrollment process is, “What are honors courses, and how will they help my child succeed?” Simply put, honors courses are academically rigorous courses that allow exceptional students to work above grade level and create their own definition of success.
Students who are interested in honors courses may enroll either in advanced courses for all subjects offered or only in their areas of strength and interest. We also offer elementary and middle school gifted and talented programs for “twice exceptional” students, who are gifted but have additional special education needs.
