Learning to Sail Through Rough Seas

Why We Set Sail
At Voyagers we want the students, teachers and staff to have a role model to look to. This is why the Savior is mentioned so that when teaching, learning, discipline and communicating occur, we all have the ultimate example on how to act. The Savior also teaches the importance of learning and seeking out the whole truth whether it be in science, math, communication or other areas. We want to help students learn the tools they've been given in a way that will help them discover the fullness of their knowledge. The power of discernment provides a path for that learning as we allow the spirit of our Savior to be felt in our school.
Enrichment Classes
Finland’s education system stands out by valuing both university and trade pathways. From a young age, students gain practical skills—cooking, sewing, building, dancing, and more—broadening their learning and abilities. Through enrichment classes, they see how academics connect to real life: decimals in banking, fractions in baking or carpentry, communication as a hotel concierge, chemistry as a hairstylist, weights and measures in farming, or the Constitution in law. Taught by professionals and skilled experts, these classes help students understand their community and see how they can contribute to it.
Schedule and Calendar
Staying aligned with the local public school district keeps students on similar schedules with friends and neighbors, while shared breaks help families stay connected. A four-day week gives students more time for family, activities, and finishing homework, while teachers gain a full day to plan for their students’ individual needs.
Multiple recesses let children truly be children—socializing, recharging, and returning to class ready to learn. Regular play not only boosts focus in the classroom but also supports students’ emotional and physical well-being.
Code of Culture
At Voyagers, we strive to raise not only strong students but also good citizens who understand the right time and place for every behavior. Our mission goes beyond academics—we aim to shape future leaders, coworkers, neighbors, spouses, and parents who know that respect, charity, and forgiveness matter more than any test score. We lead by example, setting a standard for others to follow: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
Tuition
Tuition provides income for our teachers. As a private school, we do not take state or federal funds, relying solely on tuition and donations. This allows us to stay true to our vision and support students in the ways we believe are most beneficial.
Curriculum and Core
A universal curriculum and core ensures students stay on track with peers across the state and country, making transitions smoother if they move. It provides a strong foundation for teachers to gauge student performance and plan for future learning. While the core curriculum isn’t perfect, as professional educators we make thoughtful adjustments to meet each student where they are and help them succeed. Curriculum and books that are used follow the mission and vision of Voyagers.
Why Grade Looping
Looping is a powerful way for teachers to truly know their students. Spending two years together allows teachers to understand individual needs and provide targeted support. Typically, odd grades focus on introducing new content, while even grades build on that foundation with additional concepts. This approach strengthens connections, ensures smoother transitions between grades, and supports continuous progress. At Voyagers, looping occurs in Preschool–Kindergarten, First–Second, Third–Fourth, and Fifth–Sixth.
Why Private, Not Charter
Charter schools offer valuable options for many students, but as state-funded institutions, they must follow specific state rules. As a private school funded through tuition and private donors, we have the flexibility to design our curriculum, schedule, testing, and overall approach in the way we believe best serves our students.
Is Voyagers a Religious School?
Not in the traditional sense. We do not teach scripture classes or begin and end the day with prayer. However, we uphold the standards and truths taught by our Savior, Jesus Christ, and allow His influence to guide our culture. Teachers may use scripture or quotes from religious leaders to deepen understanding of a lesson, and Christ’s teachings shape our approach to management and discipline.
While His truths may not be everyone’s, all students, families, staff, and visitors are expected to uphold the standards and expectations rooted in those teachings.
