When you walk into the school, the principal and office staff are standing in the lobby greeting parents and children as they enter. All the teachers are standing at their door with a student leader to great each child with a verbal welcome and a handshake before entering the room. They start the kids day by treating them as little adults, empowering them to behave as such. The school goals and standards are posted everywhere, along with how they are doing in regard to those goals and standards. They set high standards of their teaches and the kids as well. They focus on the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People written, coached and practiced in ways that the kids understand. This is the back bone of their approach to education and it works. The principal is loved by the kids and he loves them. I think his leadership of the school is what has made them so successful.

I have struggled with mental illnesses since I was a little girl. If you are reading this and you can relate, I just want you to know that I hear you. When I was 13, 14, and 15 me and my mother had a very bad relationship that led to more behavioral and mental health problems with myself. I was on probation that whole time and got off February 2025 when I was living with my ex. We only had lasted together for 8 months and when I moved back in with my mother I had ended up moving out again to Idaho state which would have changed my life together. I had got put in the Idaho foster system which is when things started falling apart more. I then became an alcoholic and a drug addict to the point I was put in a facility called Stewarts of recovery located in Idaho Falls and I ran twice so my caseworker had decided to put me in a locked down called odyssey house until i did the same thing. She had to put me in a higher facility and that just happened to be Provo Canyon School. I really wanted to go home and build a better bond with my mother so I walked in with a good mindset until things fell apart even more. Yes, Provo Canyon School may be run by different management now but things are still the same. I got to the school on October 10th 2025 and was discharged February 17th 2026. The staffing there is so bad to the point the kids there get whatever they want. I remember my first week there I had watched a staff member restrain a girl while another girl was stomping on her head during the restraint. I watched her get dragged out with blood gushing down her face while she was going unconscious. A few weeks after I was there another peer had touched me inappropriately so I had begged to move rooms. I was forced to talk to her about it even though I had asked them not to say anything. They called it a " Conflict of resolution". The whole thing was just a huge mess. I was sent to stabilization for "safety" and I was locked in a room for hours leading me to panic. The staff sat there and watched while laughing and kicking me. My therapist who was very good to me came in while it all happened and eventually helped me calm down. He told the staff I could go back to the open cottage but once he had left the staff started yelling at me trying to get me jumped by other peers. The staff are constantly gaslighting kids and violating kids' privacy. They call that hip a violation! All of this stuff has just caused me more trauma. Honestly, Yes i have worked on myself but they did not help me... I helped myself!! Since I have been home I guess it has just felt weird because I was so used to living in fear everyday at that facility and now I feel very safe and released. I felt so unsafe to the point I acted like I had no depression or problems just so i could get out very fast but i also knew that i was safe enough to do that because I've worked through my problems myself considering i am almost an adult and i needed to learn how to handle life maturely. Like people say "There is no leaving that place". They will hold you there for years and torture you. In my 4 months there the only time people really got to leave was when their parents would pull them out due to the safety concerns of the environment. They don't care about anyone because they are not the ones who have to stay. They get to go home! I am speaking for the rest of the kids in that facility because their program gets held over a realignment or a yellow shift. The staff bring the kids down every single day and the only time the kids like a staff is when they talk badly about another peer they have problems with. Provo Canyon School truly does need to be shut down due to the environment. They allow kids to pick out tile from floors or walls to use as their self harm tool. I once heard a staff member tell a kid to cut deeper next time because they were mad. There is blood all over the walls, toilets, toilet paper, napkins, etc. It is very unsanitary. When I was sent there the website says there was a pool and rock climbing wall but that was all just a scam. The things the website says are not true at all. They lewer kids there just so they can pick more victims. That place is supposed to be a safe environment but in all reality even the kids who go in with autism or disabilities get jumped and made fun of whether by peers or staff. There are roaches here and there and at one point there were bed bugs. Provo Canyon School needs to go before things get worse. Kids get hurt in their sleep whether by staff or kids. I've been wanting to post this for so long but the reason I chose not to was because my mom was terrified that if I did before I was discharged I would have been severely hurt and tortured even more. Remember where you are sending your kids too. Remember you are loved.

We liked the school, but assumed the charter school would be better. We accepted when our name came up on the waiting list. My son was assigned quite a bit of home work at the charter school for a first grader. And they were completely inattentive to his IEP where he needed help with his stutter, never getting into group therapy. He wasn't happy there, so we returned to Art City Elementary for second grade with Ms. Roylance. We mentioned his need for assistance with his stutter, and within two weeks, he was attended to and has one-on-one time with a speech therapist. The ladies in the front office know my kid by name and my voice on the phone--and I'm not heavily involved, I'll admit. I'm not on PTA. I just had a baby, I'm not in the school all the time.
