Read the Constitution! Event - Thursday, September 17th, 2020 at live.ksl.com
Today, American Prep will live stream the reading of our nation's Constitution from each of our six campuses throughout the school day.
To commemorate the signing of the United States Constitution, Congress designated September 17th of each year as Constitution Day, requiring that “each educational institution that receives Federal Funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution.” For American Prep, this is an important event for our students and community.
We invite all members of our community to join our live stream at live.ksl.com and Read the Constitution! with us. It will be a great day to read and reflect on the foundations of our nation.
Each of the following American Prep campuses will be live for one hour during the schedule listed below.
● 8 am - Draper 3 - 7th - 12th grades
● 9 am - Salem - Kindergarten - 9th grades
● 10 am - Draper 2 - Kindergarten - 6th grades
● 11 am - West Valley 1 - Kindergarten - 6th grades
● 12 pm - Draper 1 - Kindergarten - 6th grades
● 1 pm - West Valley 2 - Kindergarten - 12th grades
We invite all families to read the Constitution together this week and discuss the noble principles upon which our nation’s laws are based. We believe that by becoming more knowledgeable about our country's laws, we can respectfully debate and participate in advancing the noble cause of freedom, prosperity, and peace.

In December, the D3 choirs combined to sing a lovely "Winter Lullaby." In true covid-fashion, the students were spread out (and only removed masks to record the video) and we had no audience. We made it as special as we could with hand-made snowflakes, festive attire, and special lighting.
Enjoy!

APA Accreditation Renewed
American Prep recently completed our 5-year Accreditation review and received high marks! Accreditation is a very rigorous process and is required for public schools by Utah state law.
American Prep was evaluated against 32 Performance Standards by an outside 5-member team of experienced educators from Cognia, the accrediting agency. The Cognia Review Team conducted 117 interviews of our teachers, students, parents, administrators, and board members, visited classrooms, and reviewed over 400 documents.
We are excited to announce that American Prep received a very high accreditation score of 350.31 points! Cognia reports that the average score for the schools they accredit is 280. We were excited to score far above the average, which indicates that our organization demonstrates powerful practices that align with our school mission.
We value the process of accreditation and wish to thank the Cognia Review Team for their effort and commitment to evaluating our organization.
We also want to express our gratitude to the many American Prep parents, students, community partners, team members, our Governing Board, and our American Prep Leadership who all painstakingly gathered documents and resources for the review process, participated in interviews and classroom observations, and who make our school so excellent!

Our teachers are truly the heart of our school and never has this been more evident than in 2020.

Thank you to the Song family and to Cupbop for your thoughts and appreciation to our teachers.

Our West Valley 2 Cheer team competed for the FIRST TIME this year and won 1st place at Regionals this weekend!
CONGRATULATIONS to our West Valley team and all of our APA community. This is an incredible achievement and we are honored by your success.
This is the first time the WV2 campus has competed. We had 36 students participate and won first place among the 2A schools.
- the video is the moment our team found out they won (the awards ceremony was live streamed due to covid)
- the small group picture is of our 16 seniors!
- the huddle picture was right before our team went on and the captains were giving them motivational thoughts.
