Students at Logan River Academy have 4 class
periods a day (including JumpStart) with an A/B day school schedule.
JumpStart is a time when the students have additional time to work on
assignments and get help from their teachers.
Students have an opportunity to have individual help from their teacher
after school as well. Each evening an hour of personal study time is
provided in the dorm. Grades are handed
out biweekly. Parents receive
written updates monthly from the student’s teachers updating them on their
academic and behavioral progress and concerns.
Students are motivated to earn good grades because of the additional
privileges and opportunities they can receive by doing so.
