The Maeser Way or the Highway: When Rigid Policy Undermines Linguistic Preparation…read moreI am writing this review so families coming from Alpine School District dual-language immersion (DLI) programs, particularly those at neighboring DLI elementary, junior high, and high schools, understand an important reality before accepting enrollment at Maeser. My student was offered admission to Maeser after completing several years in an Alpine School District DLI program. That experience represents sustained academic instruction in a living, globally spoken language. Before accepting the offer, I contacted the LEA Administrator at Maeser to ask a straightforward question: since flexibility for DLI students reportedly existed at Maeser in the past, why does it no longer exist? Historically, DLI students attending Maeser were permitted to leave campus to attend immersion classes at nearby junior high and high schools. I was told there is now "no flexibility." Latin is mandatory for all seventh graders, with no exceptions. When I followed up to ask what prompted this policy change, that question went unanswered. In practice, this policy requires students who have invested years in mastering a Romance language to abandon that academic trajectory entirely. There is no alternative pathway, no transition option, and no acknowledgment that these students bring precisely the kind of linguistic foundation the school claims to value. Maeser promotes Latin as foundational for grammar, logic, and etymology, yet students already fluent in a Romance language derived from Latin are told that background cannot be accommodated in any way. I was further advised that my student's DLI language could simply be "continued at home." Language immersion does not function that way. Fluency developed through daily structured instruction, academic accountability, and peer interaction cannot be maintained through casual practice, particularly in households where the language is not spoken. Replacing a formal immersion program with informal at-home exposure is not academically equivalent. Schools are free to design their curriculum. However, when a rigid policy effectively excludes a defined group of academically prepared students from continuing their established educational pathway without a transparent explanation for the change, families deserve to know. This experience revealed a disconnect between Maeser's stated commitment to academic rigor and its unwillingness to engage with students who bring significant prior preparation. A truly rigorous academic model should be capable of examining reasonable pathways for well-prepared students rather than closing the door entirely. Charter schools operate with significant autonomy. That autonomy can foster innovation, but it can also leave families with little recourse when inflexible policies narrow access. In this case, the message was clear: the "Maeser way" is nonnegotiable, regardless of a student's preparation or prior academic investment. Families deserve to understand that reality before enrolling. As for our family, we will choose another school, one that demonstrates openness and a genuine understanding of the value of a comprehensive education. Our student will continue in the DLI program through college, which represents a significant academic accomplishment. Expecting students to abandon years of linguistic study without compelling academic justification does not reflect educational flexibility or intellectual depth. Families considering Maeser should be fully informed of these limitations before making their decision.

Than I moved up to Lone Peak, not only do I hate this school, I hate the people. My first week there everyone was racist, and only about themselves. They treat everyone else like dirt.

Don't even get me started if you're not religious. all in all this school sucks and has already put a bad reputation on everyone I know.

I feel our review can still hold true, even with that limited scope. This school was wonderful. It's a treasure. My child was safe there. His KINDERGARTEN teacher had a MASTER'S degree. I find that incredible! Each teacher also has a classroom helper/teacher every day, so when a substitute is needed, it's someone already familiar with students and the material. I love that parents are in the classroom and teachers feel free to ask for help. I think teachers should be supported like that. Overall, I felt the parents were kept informed, the school had high standards, and such kind children.

Since the new administration took over, communication has suffered, transparency is lacking, and experienced teachers have been leaving at an alarming rate.

Students and parents no longer feel heard or supported, and the once-strong community feels fractured. This school has so much potential, but unless there is a change in leadership and a renewed commitment to the values it claims to uphold, I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

My son was struggling badly in school and we pulled him from our local school in the middle of 6th grade. Draper Academy and their staff and students welcomed him with open arms. They tested him and he was 2 grade levels behind in math and a bit behind in comprehension as well. This school was a place for him to rest, learn and recoup for a year and a half. He was able to relax, gain confidence in himself again and lovegoing to school every day! This school was such a gift for him. He is now in 8th grade and he just started at one of our local junior highs and we are a month into school and he has straight A's. He is flourishing and able to stay organized and is understanding his 8th grade math. I am beyond appreciative to Mrs. Chris for creating this school that is a haven for a chosen few who get to attend. We love Draper Academy and if your in the fence go give it a tour.
