Grace Lutheran School

Christian School for grades PK-8 in Sandy. On the Utah Fits All participating-school list. Here is how the Utah awards fit, what the records show and what to ask on a visit.

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.

How Utah Fits All and Carson Smith fit

$8,000
Utah Fits All (2026-27) for the grades served here (K-12). A child with an IEP may instead use a Carson Smith scholarship at a school on USBE's Carson Smith list, but not both in the same year.

Utah Fits All pays $8,000 for a private-school student for 2026-27 at an approved school; home-based students receive $4,000 or $6,000 by age. Odyssey runs the program, and returning students, siblings and lower-income families are funded first when applications exceed the money.

On the Utah Fits All Scholarship participating-school list (approved 2026-27 Utah Fits All private-school list, Oct 2026). That means Grace Lutheran School can be paid from a Utah Fits All account once you select it in the Odyssey portal and the school confirms enrollment. Ask how tuition is billed and whether fees are included.

Grace Lutheran School did not appear on USBE's Carson Smith eligible-school list (Oct 2026), so a Carson Smith scholarship is not an option here unless the list changes.

The school also enrolls preschoolers. Utah Fits All starts at age 5, so for younger children ask about the school's preschool aid and whether it takes the state child care subsidy.

Many Salt Lake Valley Christian and Lutheran schools offer congregation-member or multi-child rates; ask whether those apply before or after a scholarship is counted.

This school also appears in the Utah UGRC/USBE statewide private-schools map layer (school year 2026), the state's geographic directory of private schools.
