Student-Led Conferences
Student-Led Conferences
Throughout their time at SLArts, each student builds a personal portfolio of their work. At their Student-Led Conference in the spring, they present it to their family, reflecting on where they've been, celebrating how far they've come, and setting goals for what's next. It's a powerful lesson in ownership, confidence, and self-advocacy.

The City as a Classroom
The City as a Classroom
Our downtown campus puts Salt Lake City right outside our door. With student transit passes, kids learn to ride TRAX and city buses with confidence, a skill that builds real independence. Just a short walk or ride away, they learn at The City Library, museums, theaters, and parks, connecting classroom lessons to the world around them.

One Book One Community
We also engage in special projects, such as the 2026-27 school year that began with every student reading a shared book: "The Wild Robot" in grades 5–6 and "Accountable" in grades 7–8. Students explored a big question together: What does it mean to be part of a community?
Where SLArts leads
SLArts students go on to public and private high schools across the valley, and to colleges and careers they love.
"SLArts prepared me by helping with my stage presence and my acting abilities. I had a really great experience learning at SLArts!"
