Realms of Inquiry was founded in 1972 as a special school for gifted, talented and creative students. Realms offers a full-day academic curriculum  for students in 7th through 12th grade. Our purpose is to provide a challenging, individualized education for students who may have nontraditional learning styles, who need to learn at their own rate, and who want to develop their natural individual talents and interests.  Our environment celebrates all that students bring with them: big thinking, curiosity, creativity, and adventure. Recognizing the importance of the whole person, Realms seeks to challenge and excite students in a wide variety of intellectual pursuits. We nurture uniqueness and individuality while encouraging ethical behavior.

  • Recommended May 01,2012 - Realms is unique in Utah. It has a very strong focus on learning through experience. Gifted children work with their teachers towards a curriculum that allows them to learn at the rate that is right for them. It has a very small student to teacher ratio and a highly committed faculty. Consider Realms! See them at www.realmsofinquiry.org*-Posted by Parent *
