FAQ

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from families. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to give us a call—we’re always happy to help!

Are you a school?

No, Elite Academy is not a traditional school.

We are a learning center that operates using a microschool model—a small, student-centered environment that offers structured, high-quality instruction without the red tape of a public or private school. Our team leads the academic experience, focusing on personalized learning while giving families the flexibility they value.

How big are your classes?

Whether your child is enrolled in full time or part time classes, the student to coach ratio will not be more than 10:1

What is your schedule like, daily and yearly?

Our daily schedule is structured to maximize focused learning in a supportive environment. Full-time students attend 4 days a week for 3.5 hours per day, while part-time students attend 2 days a week for the same duration. During this time, students receive instruction and support in core subjects such as Math, Science, Social Studies, English Language Arts (ELA), as well as Character Building and Business/Entrepreneurship.

We observe all national holidays and align with our local school district calendar for Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks.

How much does it cost?

You can reserve your child’s seat with a $250 registration fee. Our full-time program is $6,500 for the academic year, and our part-time program is $4,000. We also offer flexible payment plans to make it more manageable for families!

Are you accredited?

Elite's high school curriculum is NCAA and WASC approved meaning they can graduate, go to college, and/or play collegiate sports.

Can my child still do sports and clubs at their local school?

YES! Your child can participate in extracurricular activities at their local schools, such as sports, clubs and electives. We are more than happy too aide you in that process when enrolling at Elite.

What ages/grade levels do you serve?

Elite serves students starting in Kindergarten up to 12th grade.

How do you teach multiple grades in one class?

Our multi-grade classrooms create opportunities for collaboration, peer learning, and flexible grouping. Students are partnered based on skill level rather than just age—so if a 3rd grader is reading at a 5th grade level, we can match them with peers who challenge and support them. This approach allows every student to ask questions, work alongside others at their level, and grow at their own pace.

How do you assess student progress without standardized testing?

We focus on project-based learning, teacher observations, skill mastery, and regular check-ins to assess growth. This gives us a deeper and more accurate understanding of each student’s progress.

My child has an IEP/504 plan. Can they still participate?

Yes! We’ve had the privilege of working with many students who have IEPs or 504 plans. With small class sizes (no more than 10 students) and personalized curriculum for every learner, Elite provides an ideal environment for students who benefit from extra support, flexibility, and individualized attention.

Are there any scholarship opportunities?

Yes! Utah offers several scholarships and grant programs that can help cover the cost of your child’s education. We recommend exploring the Utah Fits All Scholarship, OpenEd, and Harmony Education programs. You’re also welcome to reach out to us—we’d be happy to guide you through the options and help you find what works best for your family.
