Just 45 minutes from Salt Lake City ’s international airport and busy metro-cultural center, deposited like a lake among mountain peaks, lies a valley too beautiful for words. Here, at the foot of the ancient Uintas, facing the Wasatch Range of the Rockies, stands the Oakley School . In this place where deer, elk and moose roam free, where eagles and mountain bluebirds remind us to look up, where mink and pine marten change coats with the seasons, wilderness serves as a teacher and as a place of refuge. Leaders of tomorrow take primal lessons from this unspoiled land, and find universal truths crucial to their happiness and integrity. With few big city distractions, Oakley’s rural setting reinforces hard work and discipline – while the surrounding wilderness reminds everyone that life is an adventure. To thrive in this landscape of growth, students are supported and expected to achieve in four major components of education:

• Academic Excellence
• Emotional Well-Being
• Recreational Learning
• Productive Student Life

Talisman Academy is a residential academic alternative for adolescents and young adults ages 12 to 20 with Asperger's Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism, and similar spectrum disorders.

On and off campus, students practice independent living skills and group dynamics, and engage in focused social skills groups. The academic program is a journey that enables students - who may have struggled in more traditional environments - to seek social confidence and their full potential for life success.
