Designed around how children learn, grow, and engage with the world.
Families differ in how much flexibility, at-home involvement, and on-site support they want from their child’s education. PEAK Mastery offers two learning pathways so families can choose the structure that best fits their child and family while remaining part of one school community.
Both pathways are built on the same PEAK Mastery learning model. Students work toward the same Utah Core-aligned competencies and mastery expectations, build a relationship with a PEAK Mastery coach, participate in hands-on and interdisciplinary learning, and have opportunities to connect learning to the real world.
The primary difference is where and how learning time is distributed.
More time learning on campus, with room to extend learning beyond it.
Students participate in four days of scheduled on-site learning plus one Extended Learning Experience (ELE) day each week.
This pathway provides greater on-site structure, direct instruction in math and literacy, Wonder Workshops, electives, coaching, and collaborative learning while maintaining opportunities for personalized projects, fieldwork, and community experiences.
On Fridays, families can extend learning at home, participate in community experiences, or choose optional on-campus enrichment through ELE Studio.
Students may also participate in optional after-school clubs Monday–Thursday.
Students participate in four days of scheduled on-site learning plus one Extended Learning Experience (ELE) day.
This pathway provides greater on-site structure while maintaining opportunities for personalized learning, field experiences, community learning, projects, enrichment, and other ELEs.
Best suited for families looking for a more school-based learning experience while still wanting PEAK Mastery's flexible, hands-on, mastery-focused approach.
More flexibility at home with continued school connection, support, and accountability.
Students attend two scheduled on-site learning days plus three Extended Learning Experience (ELE) days each week.
On-site days focus on experiences that benefit most from being together, including Wonder Workshops, electives, hands-on learning, collaboration, coaching, community building, and guided study.
On ELE days, students continue structured academic learning with family support, particularly in math and language arts, using school-provided curriculum, learning plans, and resources. Families have flexibility in how they organize learning while maintaining consistent academic expectations.
PEAK Mastery coaches monitor progress, support families, and help students work toward the same mastery expectations as students in the 4-Day Pathway.
Students can also participate in optional after-school clubs and Friday ELE Studio, providing additional opportunities to connect with peers, explore interests, and learn on campus.
Best suited for families who want a more active role and greater flexibility in when, where, and how learning happens while maintaining the support and accountability of a public school.
Monday–Thursday After-School Clubs | 3:35–4:20 PM

Families are choosing a learning structure, not a different standard of education. Both pathways lead toward the same goal: curious, capable, self-directed students who are academically prepared and ready to apply their learning beyond school.
There isn't one "better" pathway. The right fit depends on your child, your familiy, and the amount of flexibility and family involvement you are looking for.
