City Academy, through the hard work of our computer science teacher Dennis Pedersen, is 1 of 2 schools in Utah and 1 of only 102 schools across the country that have been recognized by Code.org with the Computer Science Leaders award! This award comes with a prize of $10,000 to help the school enhance computer science education for their students.
Sonia Woodbury, PhD, and Executive Director comments “We are proud of Mr. Pedersen’s hard work and commitment that have earned him this very deserved award and we look forward to the educational opportunities in computer science that we will be able to offer our City Academy students”
City Academy is a public tuition-free charter school for grades 7 through 12. City Academy was founded in 2000 by a group of University of Utah educators who wanted to create a better type of school—a school that actually challenged students to think rather than just memorize facts.
