Entrada

Entrada is an alternative educational program within the Canyons School District in Sandy, Utah, specifically designed to help students earn their high school diplomas in a non-traditional setting. Unlike a standard high school, Entrada utilizes a competency-based, self-paced curriculum that allows students to work at their own speed. This model is particularly beneficial for individuals who may have struggled in a conventional classroom environment, those who need a flexible schedule to balance work or family responsibilities, or adult learners who are looking to complete their high school education.

The program focuses on providing a supportive and individualized atmosphere where students can complete their remaining credit requirements through independent study, hybrid learning, or smaller, targeted class sessions. Because it is part of the Canyons District, students who graduate from Entrada receive an official high school diploma, providing them with the same post-secondary opportunities as graduates from traditional high schools. The school is widely recognized for its mission to re-engage students who have fallen behind and to provide a pathway to graduation for those who need a different approach to academic success.
