Please note that all classes at Ammon Honors Academy are taught at an honors level.

Watch for an Official Acceptance Email. After the February 1, 2025 open enrollment deadline, you will receive an email by February 28th confirming whether your student has been officially accepted to Praxium.

While you are always welcome to pick up and drop off your child at Ammon Honors, busing will be provided for all in-district students. If students are riding a bus, they will be bused to their “home school” first, then move to a transport bus that will bring them to Praxium. This will typically mean students will arrive at our program building by 8:55 am and will be back at their “home school” before boarding buses home.

Students choosing to attend Ammon Honors Academy will have the same opportunities as all other students. Elective courses are taught by Ammon Honors teachers, Rocky Mountain Middle School teachers, and, when needed, other elective teachers from across the district. Additional options are also available through Bonneville Online High School.

It won’t! Students will continue to have the opportunity to participate in the extracurricular activities of their “home school” including athletics. They may try out for and participate in after-school activities and programs at their boundary school.

Yes. Next year, we’ll arrange a cohort of Ammon Honors students to attend Bonneville Seminary together during the school day. Once we move to the Ammon location, seminary will be held at the church next door and built directly into students’ schedules, just like other high schools in the district.

Ammon Honors Academy is expanding to include high school grades, beginning with 9th grade. Students can continue their honors track experience while creating a six-year plan that includes Jump Start High School, Advanced Opportunities, and dual credit courses—preparing them for college, career, and life after graduation.

Students receive instruction aligned to their grade-level curriculum and work toward mastery of specific standards. Grades are based on a student’s understanding and mastery of the material, emphasizing true learning rather than simply moving on without developing the necessary skills. In addition to academic growth, our focus is on building our core values—the 5Cs: creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and character.

Mastery education is not bound by time or traditional constraints. At Ammon Honors Academy, we’ve developed a structured plan to help students advance at their own pace and design a personalized six-year academic pathway. This approach works especially well for students who want to maximize Advanced Opportunities within the district and earn college credits through our partnership with the College of Eastern Idaho (CEI). Families are encouraged to contact the counselor to create an individualized plan that supports each student’s goals for acceleration and success.

Class sizes are dependent upon the number of students needing assistance on that particular standard, skill, or concept. Sometimes, a classroom may look more like a traditional classroom with 25+ students, especially when a new concept is introduced. Other times, there may be a smaller “workshop” held to provide intervention for a small group of students. Many times, it is simply one-on-one assistance by the teacher based on the specific needs of the individual student.

At Ammon Honors Academy, we’re building a strong school community where students of all grade levels occasionally come together for activities that promote Yeti Pride.

• 2026–27 (Praxium Campus): 9th graders will be an integral part of our community and included in schoolwide events and programs with the 7th and 8th graders..
• Future (Ammon Elementary Campus):
  • Middle school will be located upstairs, and high school downstairs.
  • Each group will have its own lunch period and core classes.
  • We will continue to develop a unified school culture that connects all students through shared values and traditions.

Lockers are no longer available at the Praxium location, and students will keep their backpacks with them throughout the day. Each classroom has hooks for storing backpacks during class. If a student needs a locker, they may check one out at Bonneville Online High School (BOHS). Once we move into the new Ammon Honors Academy building, lockers will be available for all students.

For next year, students will continue to eat lunch at Rocky Mountain Middle School during a lunch hour reserved just for Ammon Honors students. The menu will remain the same as other district schools.

Once we move to the new Ammon Honors Academy location, we’ll have a beautiful new cafeteria and kitchen that will serve lunch to all students. For high school students, lunch will be open campus, allowing them to leave during lunchtime if they choose.

We are in the process of building our school library and have already developed a strong starting collection of books. Once we move to the Ammon location, our library will be much larger, and we’ll continue working to expand our collection to fill the new space and offer even more reading options for students.

Every Ammon Honors student will receive a school identification card. Students may also pay the activity card fee if they wish to attend extracurricular activities or events at their boundary school.

If you feel your child is not making progress and is struggling, we will meet as a team—with you, your student, and their teachers—to determine what is working and what needs adjustment. If the concerns cannot be resolved, students may choose to return to their boundary school, preferably at a trimester break to ensure a smooth transition.

Yes, a Chromebook will be checked out to each student during the first week of school. They will be able to use it at school and at home, and may personalize it with stickers and their name. Outside computers or Chromebooks cannot be used during the school day because they will not connect to the district Wi-Fi and are difficult to monitor. Purchasing the district Chromebook protection plan is recommended, as it helps cover the cost of any damage that may occur.

The most up-to-date information about your student’s work and grades can be found in Schoology. Going to the Gradebook section is especially helpful for seeing current progress and any missing assignments. The best way to stay informed is to sit down with your student and review their courses together. Another helpful tool is the “Task List”, which is updated daily in each class so students always know what to work on next. Powerschool is updated weekly.

No, this is NOT an online school. Because students have flexibility in the progress of their learning, an online learning management system (LMS) is used to assist and track a student’s learning and application of skills. The LMS allows students, teachers and parents to view the progress of the student at any time.

Students spend the majority of their time working with their classmates and teachers on real-world projects in the classroom. They may access the learning management system (LMS) that is housed online to track their progress or understand their next checkpoint; then, they spend Project Time demonstrating the application of learning.

There is no set amount of screen time. Instead, students are empowered to use the Platform as a tool to support their learning, enabling them to access content in a way that meets their learning style and showing them their progress towards their goals.

Ammon Honors Academy is designed to support diverse learners through personalized instruction, targeted scaffolds, and flexible interventions. All students with IEPs and 504s are supported according to their plans.
