At Lumen, we pride ourselves on our intimate class sizes and experienced educators. Our teachers enjoy full autonomy to adjust their live online lessons and assignments to best fit the needs of each and every student, and our students thrive in the knowledge that they are cared for and supported no matter where they are in their educational journey.

The Benefits of Online Public School

Individualized Education in Collaborative Learning Environments

Lumen’s highly individualized learning environment is successful because we’re able to take the time to learn our students’ personal and academic strengths and weaknesses. Working one-on-one with their students, our teachers create individualized plans to support student success, providing more or less support as needed. From kindergarten to the 12th grade, our live virtual classrooms grow and change with our students, guiding them through every educational milestone along the way.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to inspire students to the highest level of achievement: EXCELLENCE!

School Motto

Learning Starts with the Individual

Get Started

Is Lumen Scholar Institute the right school for my child?

Our online charter school could be the learning environment your student needs to succeed.

Students from all over the great state of Utah attend Lumen instead of their local public school for a whole host of personal reasons. For example, students who are performing artists, competitive athletes, or have cultural practices that better align with the home-based environment of an online public school thrive at Lumen.

As an online charter school, we are uniquely capable of accommodating advanced students as well as students who need a little extra attention and guidance. Our goal for every student is to give them an immersive, flexible, and inclusive learning environment in which they can realize their highest potential as a student and build a framework for future success in life.
