| Why Utah International Is a Great School for ALL Students—Not Just English Learners |
1. Academic Language Support for All
Many students—even fluent English speakers—struggle with academic language. Our teachers are trained to build reading, writing, and communication skills in every subject, helping all students succeed.
2. No ESL Pull-Outs
English Learners are not placed in separate ESL classes that don’t count for credit. All students learn in core content classes, with language support built into every subject.
3. Collaborative Classrooms
Our learning model is based on collaboration. Classrooms are set up with tables instead of individual desks, encouraging discussion, teamwork, and shared problem-solving.
4. Inclusive and Supportive Environment
Our school culture centers on empathy, respect, and celebrating diversity. Students feel safe to express themselves, take academic risks, and learn from one another.
5. High Expectations with Strong Support
We challenge all students with rigorous academics, while providing clear structures, visuals, and multiple ways to engage with content—so that everyone has the tools to succeed.
6. Global Mindset and Cultural Competence
With students from many backgrounds, our school helps all learners become more globally aware and prepared for life in a diverse world.
7. Small School, Personalized Attention
Every student is known and supported. We track progress closely and provide individual support when needed, whether a student needs extra help or more challenging coursework.
8. College and Career Preparation
From day one, we help students prepare for life after high school. Every senior receives one-on-one support with college applications, FAFSA, scholarships, and career planning. Through challenging courses, real-world experiences, and mentoring, our students are equipped for college, careers, and leadership.
