WHAT WE DO
The Trekker Approach to Education
If you’re used to the public/charter education system, we know this might seem foreign to you. We thought so too. Then, we saw this modern style of education in action, and it changed our kids’ lives.
We tried everything. Public schools, charter schools, other private schools, homeschool. The right educational experience wasn’t in St George, so we made it.
When we lived in Idaho, we took our own kids out of public school and to private school with a modern learning model. Our kids dramatically improved in a matter of weeks. They were honestly disappointed when they woke up and realized it wasn’t a school day. We couldn’t believe it.
When we moved to St George, we found good local teachers in the public schools, but they are operating in a failed government system. We tried two St George private schools that had some benefits, but it just wasn’t the quality of experience we knew was possible. So, we’re bringing it to St George.
We’re putting everything we have into this school. Jim even exited his company, which he had built to 80 employees, in order to focus on our mission to create Trekker.
Emily has been the driving force behind Trekker since the beginning. After studying education at BYU-Idaho, she homeschooled our kids and has spent hundreds of hours finding the best curricula and developing our learning model.
Jim is a lawyer, but has spent the last 12 years creating, building, and successfully exiting his companies and brands. He still runs his popular Youtube channel, but his main focus is now on inspiring kids to grow through purpose-driven learning. Read Jim’s About Page.

Trekker School
Imagine going to work each day at an office where your boss gives you completely made-up assignments, and then at the end of each day, your boss tells you everything you’re doing wrong and then throws your work away. That’s the government’s education model. Endless worksheets of made-up problems, red marks and test scores, keep kids in one uncomfortable seat all day, throw the worksheet away. Kids are sick of it.
The teacher’s union and politicians are pulling the strings and not allowing our local teachers to teach. Our kids deserve better.
If we give our kids meaning and purpose–if we allow them to work on real problems in a real business that the world will actually get to see–their confidence and happiness will soar.
