Welcome back to school at Leadership Academy of Utah (LAU)!

I hope your student(s) had a wonderful first week back at school. Our mentors were excited to be back in class with returning students, and thrilled to welcome many new students as well.

A central focus of our program is creating an environment where students can experience Transformational Learning. We want to help students engage with the content, other students, and their mentors. We are dedicated to helping and empowering students to get the most out of their educational experience.

Returning to school after a long summer break can sometimes be a challenge, and adjusting back to the normal flow of a school week can take some time. Please know that mentors are here to support you and your student. Please reach out to them anytime through Canvas or SIS. Our Customer Support Team is also available to answer any questions you might have on 800-200-6869.

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in your student’s education. We hope you have a fantastic start to a new school year.

Warmest regards,

John Tripp 

Executive Director, LAU
