Preparing For Success


Our high school program is unique in that each student begins by participating in a foundational course of successful goal-setting. The course is based on Sean Covey’s “Seven Habits For Highly Effective Teens.” As other coursework begins, our Student Support Department maintains weekly contact with the student through a progress report which also contains suggestions on how the student can maintain a good pace. Student Support also helps the student to set goals for academic success.
Reports are also sent to parents and administration.

Academics: Foundation 4


Full-time students are enrolled in our high school academic program known as the “FOUNDATION 4.”
This is a 4.5 credit area of study which includes:
History, Science, Writing, Literature, Grammar, and Mathematics.

This Foundation 4 is completed at every grade level in high school, and is based on our four year history rotation. Students earn credit based on reading lists of classic literature and original documents, and a History/Religion study of the time period, which includes science, art, music, literature, etc. All areas are studied as one whole and integrated course. Students research, explore, infer, and write about what they have learned. Feedback to teachers can be submitted in various forms such as written (thesis) and media (video and Power Point), and others.

Other Great Courses


Our Elective Courses offer additional courses outside of our Foundation 4 requirements. Courses include Foreign Language, Theater, Music, Art, Cycling, Photography, Anatomy, Financial Literacy, and many more.

Our High School Program also includes 2 semester courses at BYU-Idaho after age 16. Students earn dual high school and college credit. They are included in your annual tuition. Students can also bring credits from other accredited institutions.
See our tuition page for course prices.

Creating the Academic Plan


The remainder of the high school graduation requirement plan is created by the student, parents, and our administrative staff. This custom plan will reflect the talents, needs, and interests of the individual student.

Transfer Credit


High School Credit may also be given for completed outside courses that can be taken at a local high school or college, as well as certain ACT scores which demonstrate proficiency.
