Lead, connect and serve
Programs that build leaders, friendships and a caring school community.
Student Council
Elected by their classmates, Student Council members share students' ideas, interests and concerns with teachers and the principal. They also help plan schoolwide activities, social events, community projects and ways to help people in need.
Hope Squad
Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer, school-based program built around the power of connection. It aims to reduce youth suicide risk through education, training, community partnerships and cultural change.
Buddy Crew
Buddy Crew helps our younger students learn kindness and how to look out for one another. Members give back through service projects for our first responders and elderly neighbors, and they look for ways to make sure every student has a friend.
Latinos in Action
A leadership program that gives members of the Latino community opportunities to shine. Students build skills in reading, writing and interpreting in both languages, and practice communication, leadership and conflict resolution with people of all ages. En fin, son latinos en acción.
Service Learning
Service learning is “a form of experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection as students seek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding and skills for themselves.”
On stage and behind the scenes
Sing, act, build sets and share your art.
Choir
An after-school program for students who enjoy singing a variety of quality choral music. The main focus is learning to sing properly and studying choral music, as well as performing.
School Plays
Our school plays are musicals performed by Scholar Academy students, who act and sing the stories on stage. Past shows include Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan. Participation is by audition only.
Tech Crew
Hands-on, project-based learning in set design, construction and painting, theater lighting, sound design and mixing, props, and time and project management.
Art, Galas and Contests
Scholar Academy supports the principles of “Arts Education Is Essential”: the arts support students' social and emotional well-being, help create a welcoming school where students can express themselves safely, and are part of a well-rounded education.
Clubs and enrichment
Explore new interests, sharpen your thinking and make friends.
Robotics Club
Students build and code robots, design their own features, compete in competitions, and learn teamwork and collaboration — all while having fun!
Chess Club
Students learn the game, improve their skills and challenge their peers with healthy competition and team spirit. Chess builds critical thinking, problem solving and decision making, with a focus on learning, sportsmanship and fun.
Role-Playing Club
A space for tabletop gamers to play a story together. Game Masters guide the plot while players decide what their characters say and do. A fun, interactive club that builds creativity and friendships.
Gifted and Talented
Students in grades 3–8 are invited by their teachers to a once-a-week after-school class in Terms 2 and 3. Task- and performance-based activities add depth, complexity and rigor, with teamwork and creative problem solving. Utah defines gifted and talented students as those with ability significantly above their age group in general intellect, specific academic fields or creative thinking.
Tuesdays After School
In second and third terms, Tuesday after-school clubs range from reading and math tutoring to 3D art, cookie decorating and much more — positive time together away from high-stakes testing.
