Admission Information

Diamond Ridge High School offers a supportive and personalized learning environment primarily for high school students in grades 11th and 12th. With smaller class sizes, a strong focus on academics, and various community and academic resources, students who are willing to work have a much greater chance to graduate from high school, especially with the additional support in health, social services, and career readiness we offer. Out 24-credit diploma and access to Canyons Technical Education Center (CTEC) are also fantastic opportunities for students to develop both academically and professionally.
