Fifth Grade for Utah Students
Everything seems to ramp up in fifth grade. At this stage in a child's development, students are good, logical thinkers and problem-solvers. They can identify needed information and strategies, and switch how they think about a challenge until they come up with a solution. And for some, this is also when the roller coaster ride of puberty begins. Fifth grade at Utah's tuition-free* K12-powered online school can help students and families navigate this important time.
