Canyons is powering up its personalized-learning options with the pending launch of Canyons Online, technology-driven educational initiative recently approved by the Canyons Board of Education.

Starting in fall 2021, Canyons Online will be the CSD program through which high-quality online classes will be provided to third- through 12th-grade students. Licensed teachers with advanced training in the best digital teaching and learning practices will lead classes in core subjects.

“Canyons Online will really offer us the opportunity to act on Canyons District’s principle of innovation,” said Canyons Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins. “Families will have more choice and flexibility in customizing what is best for their students.”

Both events, which also will be livestreamed, will be 6-7:30 p.m.
