School Overview

Diamond Ridge High School is an alternative education facility located in Sandy, Utah, serving students within the Canyons School District. Unlike traditional high schools, Diamond Ridge is specifically designed to provide a flexible, personalized learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional approach to earning their diploma. The school focuses on credit recovery and accelerated learning, aiming to help students who have fallen behind or who require a smaller, more supportive classroom setting to succeed academically.

The school’s curriculum is structured to be highly adaptable, often utilizing blended learning models that combine independent study with direct teacher instruction. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, Diamond Ridge fosters a close-knit atmosphere where faculty can offer targeted social-emotional support and academic guidance.
