I do not recommend this school. It is very sad to witness…read morehow much this school has declined. The middle school experience has been especially disappointing. The teachers often come across as rude and seem more focused on enforcing dress code policies than providing quality education and meaningful lessons. The school also does not reflect the Christian values and kindness it claims to promote. Everything seems centered around money, and some wealthy families appear to receive special recognition not because of their children's achievements, but because of their financial donations to the school. Overall, this has been a very discouraging experience for our family.

The classes assign an excessive amount of unnecessary homework without providing any real…read moredifference in instruction compared to standard honors classes at most high schools. The only noticeable distinctions are the heavier workload, limited opportunities for social interaction during the day, and additional fees--for example, charging $75 just to allow casual dress, despite already paying a substantial tuition. Even chapel, which should be a central part of the school's identity, only takes place once every other week. Families like mine are investing in this school expecting consistent spiritual growth, not minimal engagement. There needs to be a stronger commitment to both academic balance and faith-based education.

And I would STRONGLY advise this comment should be read if you are interested in enrolling your child. I have witnessed many students being bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts and the teachers do absolutely nothing. The community in general are actually not the nicest people anyway. Also, there is not currently a nurse?? My younger brother is in seventh grade and nearly everyone isn't doing that well academically. Also, I've noticed some of the staff seemed to not care that much due to how much students they have. When I was here, only one staff member actually checked up on me and my friend (nope not the counselor) I remember I was doing very bad in math and not the best grade in ELA, both of the teachers were late to the student conference (and left early) that I had scheduled a week before, rude much. Also, they have a very interesting mindset, especially counselors, they would constantly guilt trip and gaslight me and my parents into constantly putting me in honors (which was definitely not a good idea) just add one more thing. This school is HUGE along with Chaperel, which it feeds into. So I don't entirely blame the teachers for being overwhelmed. But yet again, this is the job they signed up for, and they must have proper work etiquette. There is also a problem in eighth grade with pressuring into vaping and teen s*x which is not managed as much as it should. A lot of the kids there are a very bad influence. (and I'm not trying to be a saint, it's genuinely bad.) they should also be a bit stricter on the dress code, I mean, you can wear practically anything, and a lot of people bullied because they don't have a certain (expensive) clothing item. I know this is long, but it's very important and I could add a lot more. My family certainly got fed up with it and we switched in the eighth grade. I would overall not recommend this school sorry if this offended anyone. (one more thing, READ THIS apparently this school doesn't do much of a background check on its teachers since they literally hired someone who was addicted to child p*rn and g*re (shout out to Michael Gill I hope you rot in jail )

Teachers who attempt to intimidate the children and parents in meetings then get shown proof of their lies and manipulation and "Mr. Shrimp" principal goes "shocked" faced and pretends it's all new to him. Teachers who literally hate kids and treat them like crap are teaching here. Lazy and never update grades in their "awesome" app and when asked why they aren't up to date, blame the kids. Constant emails that go unanswered. Teachers giving excessive homework with unrealistic due dates (some with so much work that has to be "done only in class") and give no time in class to do it so kids have to give up their lunch and after school to complete it. Kids in tears because it's too much and teachers expectations are absurd THEN don't put the grades in the grade book because they "can complete it on their own schedule" causing kids to stress out and are upset their grades look like failing grades. SUSD has dropped the ball here and I will tell everyone every chance I can what a sh*tty school this is.

I expected more from a school that claims to be Christian but this is just another high priced private school that has nothing to do with helping your child to learn more about Christ. Very disappointed to say the least.

The Christ-centered education and intentional discipleship have had a profound impact on our children, not only in their learning but in their faith.

If you are considering enrolling your teenager at North Canyon, do yourself a favor and look…read moreelsewhere. This school is run with complete disregard for the actual student experience, and the administration's priorities are entirely backward. The front office communication is practically nonexistent. If you try to call with an urgent message or pop in to clear up an attendance mistake, you are met with attitude, eye rolls, and generic brush-offs. Meanwhile, the staff enforces rules with glaring favoritism. Certain students get away with constant dress code violations or skipping, while others are dragged straight into detention over harmless misunderstandings or pulling out a phone to check the time. Where the budget actually goes is an absolute mystery. While teachers are left paying out-of-pocket for basic classroom supplies and AC units struggle to cool overcrowded rooms, the administration somehow finds funding for cosmetic exterior upgrades and unnecessary vanity projects. Fine arts and practical electives keep getting squeezed out, depriving kids of the hands-on programs that make high school engaging, all while the school spends money on decorative fluff nobody asked for. To make matters worse, basic campus maintenance is treated like an afterthought. Half the student bathrooms are locked down at any given time, plumbing leaks are ignored for weeks, and maintenance fixes are applied like temporary band-aids. Instead of addressing genuine student well-being, curb bullying, or fix deteriorating facilities, the administration and security spend all their energy playing hallway police and treating every student like a suspect. Education, safety, and basic student respect are simply not priorities at this school. North Canyon feels far more focused on control and surface appearances than actually helping teenagers succeed. Save your child the frustration and look into literally any other option.
