More Than a Commonwealth —
We're Family
Anchor Academy is a homeschool commonwealth where we gather together as homeschooling families once a week. We, the parents, teach amazing classes that we feel passionate about — from rigorous academic courses to fun and inspiring extracurriculars.
We are a tight-knit group of homeschooling families that lift, strengthen, and support each other on our homeschooling journey. While having a lot of fun in the process. Anchor is a loving, supportive, and joyful homeschool group to be a part of.

Who Are We?
Anchor Academy has been providing exceptional education and leadership development to homeschool scholars in Salt Lake Valley, Utah since 2014. We offer youth an opportunity to create and mold their own unique experiences through our wide range of educational and leadership classes and activities.
As mentors, we see the true power in inspiring our scholars to seek their own unique mission through the transformation of becoming natural born leaders, ready to take on the world.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
Our Philosophy
Thomas Jefferson Education
We follow the Thomas Jefferson Education (TJEd) philosophy with a LEMI application — Leadership Education is rooted in family and community culture, tapping into the most valuable parts of each child's heart.
The 7 Keys of Great Teaching
Classics, mentors, inspire (not require), structure time (not content), quality over quantity, simplicity, and you — not them.
Phases of Learning
We honor each child's developmental phase — from Core and Love of Learning through Scholar and beyond — meeting them where they are.
Mentoring Over Lecturing
Our parents don't just teach — they mentor. We build relationships first, creating an environment where scholars own their education.
Classics-Based Study
Scholars engage with the greatest works of all time across math, science, history, and the arts — learning how to think, not just what to think.

What I love most is how the parents teach from their passions. Every class feels authentic and engaging. It truly takes a village, and Anchor is ours.
