Utah Military Academy decided to change location April 19, 2017, 8:58 amThe primary concern for residents was traffic, with the residents claiming the traffic study the school had done was flawed and that their neighborhood would be negatively impacted by the many cars needed to get students to and from school. The change came about after developer Boyer Company offered to swap the Pioneer Crossing site for another the company owns in the Holbrook Farms area off 2100 North. If approved, Boyer plans to put 10 homes on the Pioneer Crossing site. The academy will still need to get city council approval for its new site plan. This proposed school will be the second branch of the Utah Military Academy, with the first location near Hill Air Force Base in Riverdale. According to the school's website, the Utah Military Academy is a college prep, STEM-focused, fully accredited public charter school. It is for those seeking high academic achievement in a full-time military environment. It is a co-ed school with about 30 percent female students at the Riverdale campus. With the change in location, plans for the new school at the new site are being pushed back a year, but the school will open at a yet-to-be-determined temporary location for the 2017-18 school year.
