- 1975 -
Sykes Academy originally opened as a
private prep-school.
Small classes & a dedicated faculty produced an excellent educational
environment! All our opening Kindergarteners have since graduated from
college, & we are proud of them! Our very 1st-enrolled student was
REBECCA SYKES (back
row, left) enrolled at age-4, & then graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in
Finance from the University of Utah!
-
#2) - However, we discovered there were many classroom-based private-schools,
but very few individually-tutored programs for students who needed personal attention.
.#3) - 1993
- So, Sykes Academy switched to a wonderful old-fashioned
concept of a "one-room-school-house", using individual workbooks, instead of mass-classrooms! Our 1st-student in the new
Diploma-Completion program was
ROBBY SYKES, enrolled at age 15,
then graduated from high-school in 2 years time!
.
#4)- Because of our Workbook-style, students can enter the program any week, &
graduate monthly! Our graduates have
gone to the Army, Jr.Colleges, technical-schools, & good jobs!

The early years brought exposure to the
needs of children, especially in education!

Robert & Golda Sykes...1984
-
Closed the prep-school, & dedicated themselves to more education, more training, &
re-opened with a differently-designed format for
education: "One-to-One", with modern workbooks, in an
old-fashioned one-room school-house, giving students individual
attention, yet allowing for interactive classroom!
