About Ogden Preparatory Academy

PreK-9th Grade Charter School

Ogden Preparatory Academy (OPA) is the first charter school based in Ogden, Utah. It was built with the idea that children should have an free quality education in a safe, nurturing environment. A charter school allows parents a choice in free public education for their child.

OPA offers a public school education with private school quality. That includes uniforms, discipline, smaller class sizes, and employee accountability. Parents are expected to volunteer and be active in the school, which has shown to be a major benefit to a child’s interest in school and willingness to learn. An emphasis is placed on mastery of reading and math skills, with expectations for students held high.

OUR VALUES

The Mission of the Ogden Preparatory Academy Charter School is to provide a challenging curriculum where academic excellence, character development, and individual growth are nurtured in a safe and happy environment that involves the active participation of students, teachers, parents and community members.

Ogden Preparatory Academy’s vision is to provide all students with quality academic growth while inspiring lifelong learning, service, and leadership.

Utah’s Portrait of a Graduate identifies the ideal characteristics of an Utah graduate after going through the K-12 system. These are aspirations not necessarily meant to be quantified and measured. These characteristics begin at home and are cultivated in educational settings.

In order to support Utah’s Portrait of a Graduate, Ogden Preparatory Academy has developed its own Portrait of an OPA Student. This document highlights the key skills, mindsets, and values in the essential areas of OPA’s mission statement: Academic Excellence, Character Development, and Individual Growth.
