This is an impressive elementary school. They are a Leader In Me school and have received many…read moreawards and recognition in this regard. 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.

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. I'm so impressed with this school. My son is very happy and safe there.

The students stay with the same teacher from kindergarten until 6th grade which greatly decreases first day fears. The teachers also get to know your child and their specific needs. The education philosophy is also a huge plus for me as they focus on emotional, cognitive and social development using a hands-on approach. Overall, I think this school is amazing, I couldn't imagine sending my child anywhere else.

Students progress aren't being monitored properly. When my child attended Treeside (2018-2019) I didn't receive progress reports for quite a while. I ended up bringing an advocate with me to a meeting with the whole team do to that reason. Let me just say how defensive everyone in that meeting got just because I was advocating for my child. From stuff like: "If I had a magic pill I can take to get it all done" or the principal saying "we do what we can". Those are no excuses as to why I wasn't being informed of my child's progress. It was very uncomfortable for me as a parent having to hear such thing from them. Now their cafeteria is a hot mess . I was always there every morning with my kids & I can tell you that there isn't always staff watching the kids other than the cafeteria ladies. There are kids running , throwing balls etc. I was even shoved by a few kids while in there. The Cafeteria ladies are very sweet , but I think the school makes their job harder by them having to be the ones to remind the kids that it's time to go to class, line up or simply having to discipline kids themselves. Their carpool lane is a NIGHTMARE , man that still needs a lot work. It scares me that one day a child will get hit by a car. Save yourself the trouble!

To whom it may concern,…read more My name is Randall. Iam a graduate of Provo Canyon School of about 15 years. I spent 18 long months at Provo Canyon School and it was THE best thing that could have ever happened to me. From the age of 13 I ran away from home, was arrested several times and did things I hate to even think about. Deep down I just needed help. Provo Canyon School changed my life.Provo Canyon School Saved my life and Provo Canyon School saved my family. Simply put, regardless of what mental or physical struggles i was facing while at PCS I was expected to meet the schools high expectations. Hard day at school, so what. There are rules to follow as an individual and as a team/room/unit. Homesick, yep that sucked and on top of it I still had to be obedient individually and as a team. If your kid decides to make life choices like run away from home, do drugs, and break the law. Then your child is capable of graduating from Provo Canyon School like I did. In fact, when they are crying and complaining on phone calls that," hey this place sucks, they arent treating me well." Yada yada yada, then its time for you parents to pull up your big boy pants and say, "well son I wish you wouldnt have made the very choices you did to make it into Provo Canyon School. I hope you obey the rules and learn to be a team player fast so you can graduate and come home to us. Talk to you next week kiddo. Love ya! " The worst thing you can do as a parent is rip your kid out of this program prematurely. Remember, your kids big boy pants got him in here. Not you! So let him in there as long as PCS will keep him. As hard as the program was, I still call it home for 18 months of my life. Iam sooooo thankfully my parents had it in them to let me be there as long as it took. I am thankful for the roomates that I came to trust and care for while i was there. Iam thankful for the teachers and therapists and unit leaders. I have been back to visit several times over the past 15 years and while I was in the program I got to see graduates return to the school on occasion also. May God bless everyone that works for this program. It works. It saved my life and one day I will donate money to it.

I cannot say this enough parents DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! it will only cause them to have more trauma then they walked in with.
