Overview of Electives

Expeditionary Learning and STEM will be replacing Innovations and Discovery.  Families can pick a program along with the times/day that works best for them.

We are also excited to introduce the new elective option of our Arts Academy! Families can pick classes in a block time (morning or afternoon) from several different classes. The Arts Academy is specifically designed for families to build the schedule and electives that fit your child’s learning and passions. It is going to be AMAZING, and we look forward to parent input as we make final decisions of the year one electives being offered!

CGA is building a new campus at 3046 W Maple Loop Drive in Lehi.  This building will not just house Epic and Secondary students but will be the hub of our CGA Arts Academy!  All epic students will have the option of choosing one of the options below for semester one and make a second choice for semester two.  All elective programs are optional.

Choice 1:  Expeditionary Learning off campus (similar to what Discovery was) – This semester-long elective will take your child out into nature and the world around us to experience hands-on learning!  Some of these activities could be fishing, paddleboarding, nature hikes, skating, pickle ball, snowshoeing, climbing walls, outdoor sports, etc.  This will be a very experiential class for your child that will not be held on campus, but rather will be out and about.

Choice 2:  STEM at PG (similar to what Innovations was) plus one elective at the Arts Academy per semester.  STEM will include 21st century technology experiences in the Smart Lab, exploring while learning in the Space Center and Planetarium, and excitement of farm participation through our Homesteading experiential class that will be an interdisciplinary program connecting students to the food system through planting, pruning, gardening, nutrition/meal planning, cooking, and canning with project based activities in our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. It will also include time on the farm with the animals and taking care of them. Your child may also choose one elective from the Arts Academy which could include things like piano, dance, choir, art etc. (final class choices forthcoming).

Choice 3:  This is a full Arts Academy (in Lehi) elective where you can choose up to 3 electives per semester. As mentioned, these could range from the fine arts to group piano lessons, dance, choir, karate, theatre etc.  We will be sending out a parent survey to finalize the most desired electives to launch the Arts Academy.

A Google form will be sent to all enrolled students so you can choose your elective for the semester. Choose the day to attend and elective for the semester by the registration deadline. Program choices will be filled on a first come first serve basis. If a program is full please choose from what is still available.
