New Public-School Program Will Set Students on
Path to Education – and Career - Success
Enrollment is now open for the 2022-2023 school year at Career
Academy of Utah (CAU), a new full-time, public-school program for
students in grades K-9. Authorized by Utah State University, CAU
will serve students starting in the fall of this year with plans to
grow by grade level each year to eventually serve grades K-12.
CAU will provide students with a standards-aligned curriculum
facilitated by highly qualified Utah-certified teachers, from the
safety of their homes or anywhere with an internet connection. And
with the school’s unique career-focused approach, students can pair
a solid academic foundation with hands-on learning experiences in
career exploration.
In addition to core classes, students at CAU can take
career-focused electives to explore their options in high-demand
fields such as Health Sciences, Manufacturing Production, and
Industrial Construction. Discovering professional interests while
still in high school can help students prepare for success after
graduation.
According to labor market data from Indeed.com, more than 35,000
job openings posted in Utah in the last year require an education
level less than a bachelor’s degree. And with 300k Utah residents
carrying nearly $10 billion in student loan debt, CAU is opening at
a time when families need learning options that will strengthen
students’ future educational prospects.
“When it comes to public education in Utah, students need
options that will prepare them for personal and professional
success,” said Dr. Bonita Teasley, CAU Head of School. “As an
online school with a proven track record of success, CAU is proud
to introduce families to a learning environment that meets their
needs today and sets them on a path for a bright future.”
CAU career focused pathways equips students to fill a talent
pipeline in Utah that account for top 5 high demand occupations in
the state. “Students graduate from our school equipped with a
skillset which allows them to seamlessly transition into a
workforce stream, in their community, with competitive salaries and
upward mobility,” said Dr. Teasley.
CAU’s curriculum is provided by Stride, Inc., an education
leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering online
education to students across the country. Stride has worked with
schools and districts across all 50 states to help develop local
solutions to meet personalized online and blended learning
goals.
Enrollment at Career Academy of Utah is now open for the
