Realms graduates are confident, capable, and creative critical thinkers who are uniquely prepared for college and beyond. Our location in Salt Lake City, Utah offers our students unparalleled access to the outdoors, while providing all of the benefits of proximity to an urban center.

We start life full of wonder and curiosity about the world around us. For some students that spirit of inquiry withers in a traditional classroom setting. At Realms we dispense rigid learning models in favor of working with each student to design a personalized learning plan. We encourage students to follow their curiosity by asking questions, testing assumptions, and experimenting with ideas. At the same time, we challenge students to look beyond themselves and work with others to apply what they’ve learned to “real world” situations, with the goal of contributing to the Realms community and the world beyond our campus.

Realms offers a 21st century educational foundation that prepares students for college and beyond-through collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy. A Realms education includes innovative classroom projects, self-directed hands on experiences, internship opportunities, rugged outdoor adventures and horizon-expanding international travel – all designed by the students themselves, in close collaboration with experienced and dedicated teachers. Through these life-changing experiences, students realize they are capable of confronting fears and uncertainties and learning from mistakes -- all within a supportive community that fosters deep lifelong friendships among students and their teachers.

The end goal of a Realms education is to impart not only essential facts, figures and formulas, but more importantly, the necessary tools for a meaningful life: a love of learning, a sense of community, independent thinking, self-reliance, and the courage and confidence to follow one’s interests and passions.
