Good Foundations Academy is a public charter school currently serving 468 students in grades K-6.  Established in 2010, the school has developed a program of academic excellence and strong character education.  GFA is proud to employ some of the best teachers in Utah!  The school is home to two charter school Teachers of the Year:  Sue Goers (2011) and Aimee Hall (2013).  With effective implementation of Core Knowledge and Singapore Math and integrated character education, the school is creating a rigorous instructional program where students are provided with the skills and knowledge needed for success in college and careers.  GFA was rated as a Top 5 school on the 2013 Charter School Baseline Data Report, and received a “B” on the 2013 School Grading Report.
The school is considering plans to add grades 7 and 8 to our program.  We are in the final stages of approval from the state Board of Education to increase our enrollment and add these grades.
Seeking Community Input
The GFA Board of Directors seeks input from the community to inform plans and priorities.  School leadership will present several options being considered for the school’s future.  We value the community’s questions and support.
GFA Parents – your vote counts!  This decision will affect every student and family at GFA.  If you do not attend, we will take that as a negative vote for expanding our program.  If you want to be part of GFA’s growth and believe your family will support a middle school program at GFA, your attendance is MANDATORY.  If you cannot attend, please call or email the school to let us know of your support.

Interested community members are also invited to learn more and to share insights and ideas with us.  We want to hear your questions and understand your needs and concerns.  Please join us for a Townhall Meeting at GFA on Tuesday, November 19, 6:30 p.m.
