At the Daily Herald: “Business booming at Utah’s only LDS-based private high school.” I’m not familiar with this school so I won’t add much commentary. The LDS Church pretty much stays out of the school debate. It uses its financial resources to provide five-day-a-week religious instruction to high school students via the seminary program (either early morning classes or, in the Mormon Corridor, release-time classes at LDS seminary buildings located near the local high school) rather than support a separate LDS school system. That strikes me as the right approach. See the recent T&S post for more discussion of the LDS seminary program.
