About The Program

What is Ammon Honors Academy?

Ammon Honors Academy—formerly Praxium Mastery Academy—is redefining what learning can look like. As an honors-track magnet school in Bonneville School District 93, we serve students who are ready to accelerate and deepen their education through meaningful, flexible, and personalized experiences. Our approach and pace are designed to match each student’s unique learning style, celebrating growth through constant feedback, 1:1 mentoring, workshops, projects, and self-direction.

At Ammon Honors Academy, every student is known, supported, and challenged to grow. Our small-school environment allows students to build meaningful relationships, receive personalized guidance, and thrive academically. With flexible scheduling, mentoring, and accelerated learning opportunities, students gain confidence and ownership of their education.

Our programs are designed to help students prepare for college or a career. Students deepen content mastery while developing the core values of the 5Cs (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Character). Whether they plan to attend college, start a career, or do both, students graduate confident and ready for what comes next because at Ammon Honors, we learn, not just for school, but for life.

A CHANGE IN APPROACH

Student-Centered Learning


1:1 Mentoring

Every student has a mentor that spends one-on-one time with them helping them to achieve their goals and continue to make progress.

Self-Direction

Students truly own their own education. While controlled within the learning management platform, students can see what needs to be done and are given the time to accomplish it.

Core/Flex Days

Core Days provide focused time with teachers to learn new or challenging concepts. Flex Days allow students to choose learning experiences for intervention, mastery, or enrichment.

Projects

Projects are the opportunity for students to apply their learning in real-world applications. Projects are interdisciplinary and collaborative.

Our Vision

At Ammon Honors, staff, parents, and students work together to intentionally develop the 5Cs—Character, Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Creativity—while mastering the content knowledge and skills needed to learn for life.

Students will

  1. Focus on collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, character, and communication
  2. Practice self-direction

Staff will

  1. Foster well-being and connection
  2. Deliberately develop deep learning and collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, character, and communication

Parents will

  1. Promote daily attendance 
  2. Focus on learning instead of grades

What does this look like for a typical student?

Students who qualify from any secondary in-district school may attend this honors track magnet program in person. Transportation is provided from their boundary school, and electives are offered through teachers from Ammon Honors, RMMS, and other in-district schools—creating a dynamic and well-rounded learning experience. Students may also participate in athletics at their boundary school, giving them opportunities to engage with peers and represent their school community while pursuing advanced learning through Ammon Honors Academy.

At Ammon Honors, we focus on integrating our five core values — creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and character — into every aspect of learning. The day begins with mentoring, where students build core values, set goals, and connect with trusted adults.

Through a combination of Core and Flex Days, teacher workshops, mentoring, small group instruction, and interdisciplinary project-based learning, students engage in meaningful experiences that strengthen these core values. Core Days provide focused time with teachers to learn new or complex concepts, while Flex Days allow students to choose learning opportunities for intervention, mastery, or enrichment.

Every student will meet individually with the Ammon Honors staff to customize a path toward their future that is unique to them.

Personalized Honors & Dual Credit Pathways: Students create a personalized plan with honors, dual credit, and advanced courses through CEI and other partners. They can earn college credit, complete the Idaho Gem, or even work toward an associate degree while still in high school.

Real-World Experience & Career Preparation: High school students gain hands-on experiences, industry exposure, and access to certifications in high-demand fields. Opportunities through CTE, internships, and partnerships help students turn their interests into future careers—so they’re ready to thrive the moment they graduate.
