Open Houses

These open houses may include a video presentation, a tour of the building, curriculum display, and refreshments. Administrators, teachers, studentbody officers, other students, and parents will be available for questions.
Constitutional Classes
Both of the Kimber Academies — in Lehi and in Midvale — are currently holding a series of community classes called “The Healing of America”. This four-part series covers the history of America, the Founding Fathers and the Constitution, how Constitutional principles were abandoned, and how we as a people can actually HEAL our nation. Dr. Kimber and other special guests present these classes. All older youth and adults are invited. Costs: $59 per person, $89 per couple, $30 for additional family members. Manuals are included in this price. Please contact your local Academy for specific dates and times.
Test Weeks

Tests are given for 2 – 3 hours each day during the testing week in the Senior Class, and will begin right after the Devotional and Book of Mormon studies. In the Junior Classes, testing will last only one hour.

I am going to be homeschooling my 14 year old son. Is there any special training offered to parents on the best way to teach Kimber’s curriculum? I taught my son at home the last half of 2008 and felt like I could use additional help in teaching my son, especially in history. Thank you for any help that you can give me.
