Charter School for Grades 6 – 12
An Innovative School Experience
AAI is South Jordan's Charter School for Individualized Learning
At AAI, we ignite innovation. Our individualized, project and experience approach to education is animated by the knowledge that learning and personal growth are catalyzed when students make meaningful connections that inspire their own educational journeys.
In other words, if you ask AAI students why they love coming to school, they'd tell you we make learning fun. Dive into AAI and see what sets us apart from other public charter schools.
Find Your Learning Path
Just as there is no one correct way to teach, there is no singular learning pathway. At AAI, we understand that students learn in different ways and at different speeds. In fact, our educational philosophy relies on it. We believe that the best education is an exploration.
AAI provides flexible learning environments to meet the individual needs of students and families. With on campus or independent learning options, we're able to support students at school, at home, or even abroad. Our certified, experienced, and innovative classroom leaders are dedicated to providing the support students need for individual growth.
Fostering an Innovative Mindset
AAI's Project-based Learning (PBL) and Competency-based learning frameworks create a unique, hands-on educational environment where students are empowered to follow their interests and take control of their own education.
What do we mean when we say personalized, competency-based learning?
Personalized, competency-based learning relies on four essential things:
Immersions
Twice a year, AAI deviates from the usual school day and immerses students in all new worlds! These week-long, all-day electives organically grow and change with AAI and continue to encourage collaboration and exploration, reward curiosity, spark creativity, and teach valuable life skills.
Workshops
Just one more reason to love Fridays! AAI's Workshops give students the opportunity to try out budding interests, learn new skills, and discover new passions. Every Friday, students at AAI get the chance to open their minds and explore learning in unique and exciting ways.
Capstone experience
The Capstone is the culmination of the learner's tenure at AAI. All students will be engaged in a year-long project that promotes and embodies skills necessary for success beyond the walls of AAI.
Career Pathways
AAI's Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways give students real-world exposure to the information, skills, and technical knowledge necessary for a head start in their post-secondary education and careers.
