Private & church schools in West Valley City, Kearns & Magna

The west side's private options are fewer and smaller: a parish school in Kearns, Christian and Montessori programs in West Valley City, and list-only learning centers. We list 7 private schools here; 6 on the Utah Fits All list.

Where this comes from. Utah Fits All status comes from Odyssey's approved 2026-27 private-school list and Carson Smith status from USBE's eligible-school list (revised Aug 31, 2026), both matched by name October 12, 2026. Enrollment and grades are from the U.S. Department of Education's Private School Survey (NCES, 2023-24 and 2021-22). Neither source reports tuition, so confirm tuition and participation with the school.
