Private LDS school to become Utah’s first iSchool

Hundreds of parents and students packed Thanksgiving Point's Show Barn on Friday night for the announcement that Liahona Preparatory Academy, a private LDS-based K-12 school in Pleasant Grove, will become Utah's first iSchool next month. All students, beginning in kindergarten, will be using iPads and apps as their primary education tool. The move, which begins in May, is necessary because moving to a digital education model is the only way to ensure students are prepared for the new digital world, said school officials.
