Pillar One

Accredited Online
Academic Instruction

Sparta Prep Academy delivers a full academic program for grades 7, 8, and 9 through two tracks: an accredited online instruction track for students who need scheduling flexibility, and an in-person classroom track for students who thrive in a structured environment. All incoming 7th, 8th, and 9th graders are eligible and accepted. Core subjects are taught by certified teachers, and life-skills courses are taught directly by Mr. Imperial — a licensed Utah educator with endorsements in Social Studies, Health Education, and Physical Education.

Core Subjects — Accredited Online Program

English, Math, and Science are delivered through a contracted accredited program with real, certified teachers — available as online instruction or in-person classroom learning.

Our academic curriculum is meticulously aligned with the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) core standards. Every 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade student fulfills all required state competencies in Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies.

When your student transitions into 10th grade at any Utah public high school, they will enter fully prepared, on track, and with zero credit deficiencies.

Built Into the Program — Every Friday

Weekly Grade Check — 3.0 GPA Standard

Every Friday, students participate in a structured grade review. The standard at Sparta Prep Academy is a 3.0 GPA — minimum standard. That's not a suggestion, it's the expectation.

Students who need extra help don't get left behind — they receive targeted tutoring, one-on-one academic support, and a personalized plan to meet the standard. We hold the bar high and provide everything needed to reach it.
