About Our School

Meet Our Team

Career Academy of Utah (CAU) administrators are ready to share their innovation, expertise, and enthusiasm with your family. The leadership is dedicated to empowering our school community.

  

What We Believe

The mission of Career Academy of Utah (CAU) is to empower students regardless of zip code to break through the constraints of limited opportunity by fostering academic mastery and providing focused career readiness education to close the skills gap, prepare students for high paying careers within their communities, and achieve success beyond high school. We will accomplish this by creating a career-focused virtual school that delivers instruction using Project Based Learning (PBL) and works directly with industry partners throughout Utah including rural Utah. Foundational learning proficiency will be the focus of early grades, equipping students with the skills they need to develop deep content knowledge in upper grade levels. Career and interpersonal skills will be delivered through PBL and will allow students to engage in learning experiences that are relevant to their futures.
