Mission & Vision

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a quality holistic education to all students by providing opportunities for them to be active, knowledgeable, creative, and conscientious individuals. GreenWood inspires a healthy balance in life through healthy eating habits, exercise, personal discovery, service learning, and environmental stewardship.

GreenWood is the first school in Utah to focus on holistic education. GreenWood is a free public charter school serving grades K-8. The school is founded by local parents, professionals, and health educators who all share a passion for helping children succeed in all areas of life. On April 3rd, 2014 the Utah State Board of Education approved GreenWood's charter! Our school opened August 26, 2015.

Our Purpose: GreenWood was chartered to educate students, engage parents and connect with our community to support a culture of healthy habits for our students to grow academically. From our mindfulness practices, to our school traditions, to our HEALTH Values, to our procedures and expectations, we ask that parents and families be knowledgeable and involved in the overall aim and mission of our school. Thank you for choosing to send your child to GreenWood Charter School. Be involved and aware of what is happening in your child's classroom and the exceptional learning community we call GreenWood. We are looking forward to a successful and exciting year of growth, learning, and fun!

Our Vision: Our vision is that every GreenWood student will gain an understanding and appreciation for all aspects of their life. Our vision of student achievement has three dimensions: Mastery of Skills and Knowledge, High-quality Work, and Character. To accomplish our vision GreenWood will model its services after six core HEALTH Values: Healthy Habits, Environmental Stewardship, Achievement, Leadership, Thinking Creatively and Honoring Diversity.

Individual Approach To All

Every student is unique and needs a nurturing environment to explore, engage and enlighten their understanding of the world around them. At GreenWood, we have built that nurturing environment to provide an individualized approach to each of our students. Our teachers build relationships of trust and caring with their students to establish rapport that will help their students work harder towards achieving their academic goals.
