About Hawthorn Academy

Description provided by the district or community 鈥� not part of the NCES dataset.

Hawthorn Academy believes that our primary mission is three-fold; 1) to engender a true 鈥渓ove of learning鈥� in our students, 2) to address the needs of the 鈥渨hole child鈥�, and 3) to provide a world-class educational foundation that prepares students for life. Our teaching methodologies and Program of Instruction are geared towards achieving this three-fold mission. The framework for our Comprehensive Program of Instruction is built around the selection of best-in-class curriculum, from respected and proven publishers, combined with the world-renowned International Baccalaureate (IB) as a teaching methodology that serves as an overlay to our curriculum. Our curriculum is also designed to be compliant with the Utah State Core Curriculum. Our instructional methods are focused on in-class activities, content, teaching methods and homework that are congruent with the IB philosophy. As a result, the student experience is more focused on system inquiry and Socratic methods more than rote memorization, repetition and 鈥渒ill and drill鈥� methods. Rather than a lot of busy work, homework is purposeful with the express objective of 1) teaching children to be responsible, 2) engaging parents in the learning process, and 3) reinforcing classroom learning. We believe that most children have an innate love of learning. We want to reinforce their natural desire to question, probe, understand, and then enhance these traits by teaching them how to execute practical application of what they have learned outside of the classroom. We also want them to develop a life-long love of learning that doesn鈥檛 fizzle out during the educational experience.
