Deseret Academy
School Notes Overview:
Deseret Academy was founded in 1991 when it became evident that students doing their work at home needed a vehicle whereby they could earn their high school diploma. We have been homeschooling since 1975 and use curriculums that stimulate the skills necessary for learning and teaching oneself....
