Little Learners

At La Europa Academy, we combine residential treatment, expressive arts and academic learning for adolescents ages 14–17. Our students may be working through depression, anxiety, trauma, addictive behaviors or disrupted schooling. We provide an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ students. Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps students practice coping skills in daily situations. Expressive therapy groups include art, movement, music and other creative approaches. Our academic program uses direct instruction and individual learning goals in smaller classes, taught by licensed teachers. La Europa Academy is accredited by Cognia.

Mount Vernon Academy is an independent private school in Murray, Utah. Established in 1975 and fully accredited, it enrolls students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Elementary runs from kindergarten through 6th grade and includes art, math, music, science, social studies, technology, and physical education, plus field trips to museums, parks, and the arts. In the upper grades, staff help students plan for college and a career. Since 1988 the school has also enrolled international students in an English-learning program, with athletics, drama, music, science, and leadership alongside the academic day. Scholarship information for families covers Utah Fits All, Children First, and Carson Smith. Mount Vernon is a general independent school, not a dedicated program for students with disabilities.
