15 Best Mfa Programs In Ogden, UT (2022 Updated)

For parents who have been divorced or never married, beware of this school district. If a custodial parent lies about who the biological father or mother is on enrollment forms, they will not check to see if government documents are forged, but they will give the non custodial biological parent grief and force them to prove who they are in their relationship to the child. Furthermore even after proving relationship status to the child they will attempt to alert the supposed custodial parent over SIMPLE inquiries about their processes and procedures for enrolling a child at any of the schools within the district. What's worse is they won't even attempt to prosecute the custodial parent for falsifying information on enrollment documents. As a parent of a child living in the Ogden school district, if it were possible I would give them a -5 star review for giving the opportunity to criminals who may be related or unrelated to a child to successfully kidnap a child without question.Crystal Huntsman

I have nothing but great things to say about Ogden School District!! They were very helpful when I applied to do homeschool for my son due to bullying happening at the elementary and Junior high School he went to and it was just a wonderful experience I had no problems whatsoever and they were very understanding and it was just very pleasant and I really appreciated how they handled things!Angela Poll

Got what I needed. That's the only good part. Ms. Valerie in administration, told me I look like a sketchy person. Pretty rude. If that's the standard for school district administration than it's no wonder the education system is failing these kids.Nicholas Tuason (801 Honda's President)

This place is a godsend. They saw us through the toughest time of our lives, and then they saw us come out the other even tougher. I never doubted that my kids were taken care of. The staff and teachers care so much about the kids and the families. They got us through graduate school with 3 kids under 3 years old. They were partners in my kids' upbringing. They made sure we were always set up with everything we needed. They connected us with other community resources for financial and rent aid, food, Christmas, healthcare…you name it, they knew where to find it. My kids' teachers were so invested in our lives and our goals. I'm still friends with several of them and other staff. They pushed us towards self-sufficiency. They made sure we had the tools and skills to take care of OURSELVES, but they helped us get our feet under ourselves first. And they defended our dignity through it all. This is a great place to springboard yourself into your future.Alexis Bolos Jackson (Flex)

If I could give a more negative score I would. On Nov 17th I applied for rental assistance for December. I was given a live family id #. I'm a single father with 2 boys. I heard nothing back. Dec 3rd I attempted to contact, it took 3 days to get someone to talk to me. They said that funding had run out but more had come in, to be patient. Today Dec 21st I received an email that the funding is gone. So now I have to figure out how to come up with 2 months rent plus late fees.. I've been unemployed since May congratulations OWCAP you've helped wonderfully. Helped my children and I right into the homeless shelter. Thankyou for nothing and Merry Christmas.Edmund Fretz

So this place is pretty awesome by a three-year-old goes to Head Start there I took her in there the first day got offered two jobs to help me with my driver's license maybe even insurance on my vehicle are they have a circles program there and those ladies in that circles program awesome they help you out in so many ways they have so many programs that can help you I'm trying to get housing and be held and Italian man there's a lot of things there that can help you out in a lot of ways people are greatNichole Alires

Expose yourself to Art! A fantastic historic building chock full of interesting historical objects and creations by local artisans. The Eccles Community Art Center is an amazing place to visit and enjoy the monthly exhibits. Right now there is an excellent antique camera exhibit to check out. The Victorian style home, was built in 1893 of red brick imported from the midwest and red sandstone from northern Utah. The Eccles Community Art Center (ECAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to stimulate interest, foster awareness, and provide education in all visual and performing arts. You can participate in events, create art and join design competitions.They also offer classes in visual, diverse, literary, health & happiness and performing arts. Support local Art!Rick Jones

My partner and I visited this Center on December 1st, and we were extremely disappointed. The building has amazing architectural elements, but it is run down and poorly maintained. As seasoned travellers, and art enthusiasts, we found the art to be of amateur quality and very bland. Also, we were not greeted by anyone and the people that were working there were unfriendly and inhospitable. We will not be back. Our recommendations to the management of this center would be to visit and experience other towns and cities outside of Utah to see what they have to offer for art and the representation of the art regarding, ethnicity, culture, style, quality, and versatility.Sally Dayney

This would be a great place to begin the 5:00pm First Friday Art Stroll. Hurry to see October's gorgeous colorful cloud-enhancing landscape paintings of Mac Stevenson (magenta sky? yes, unexpected and perfect) & the wooden bowl art of Joe Deru in the Main Gallery. (A virtual tour of their exhibits is online.) The house itself is worth walking through to admire. It is seasonally decorated. Upstairs there is a collection of vintage cameras, numerous paintings of this house, and other things to see. The Carriage House has more art and a gift shop. Very nice area inside and out.Jeanette Rodgers

Beware: They just changed their policies. They advertise that they believe treatment should be available to everyone and that services will not be refused because of the inability to pay. I am on social security and have been paying my bill in full each month for almost a year now. Today I was informed that, if I cannot pay for services in advance { I would have to pay them $800.00 out of a single social security check}, they will have to taper my medication off over a 14 day period (instead of the 10 month taper that was advised by the nurse and started a month ago) and remove me from their program. I guess it is no longer about helping people through recovery but instead it has become about the mighty dollar. Sadly I know this is going to result in relapse for people that were trying or even on the road to recovery.Cheryl Wood

Honestly, I was very pleasantly surprised with this place. I’m amazed at how successfully I’ve been in this program. I definitely have the staff to thank for that. They make you feel like you matter. Kevin Bowers is an enigma, a force of positive energy. He is an unapologetically real person in a world that seems so fake. He is the best counselor you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Martha is a true Queen. She runs the program with grace and has a wholesome heart. She cares about all of us. Tera and her nursing staff are some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They are the reason why hospitality is even a word. Give this place a chance, the care about you, your privacy and your recovery. ❤️‍ Ashley Fralia

This program is good if you want to get clean. There staff are always asking how you are doing. There is always someone there to listen to your problems. I have read a bad review someone wrote and they don't want to call the police on anyone they want to help everyone. But if your acting up causing problems then they have to get the situation under control some how to protect all the clients. If you want help and do classes and counseling you can Make it. It's a good program.Dawn Wadman

Hands down the best school the teachers really care about your kids the office staff are great the lunchroom staff are awesome great curriculum as well. We love OPA Big shootout to Mrs.Hagon and Mrs.Slatterly and Mrs.Whipple amazing teachers.Sasha Lemos

This school is a JOKE!! Unprofessional staff, assistant principal that doesn’t do anything. Teachers that are misinformed, aggressive & dishonest. This place needs a total overhaul on teachers, front desk staff and office management. ASAP!!S H

This is a great school. I have two attending at the elementary and they love it. This school offers a great Spanish immersion program. Mine have learned so such in just a short time. This school comes highly recommend.Amber Mercado

This is a great place for quality learning! I've come here for the master gardeners class and have loved it. They provide great instructors who care about the students and want to give the best quality education. If you are looking into classes definitely consider this location!Jacob Miller

Beautiful architecture and location. I love the range of information available to the public, and the quietness of the space. Great place for students.Elisa Brawley

You get what you pay for. Obviously it will depend on your program, but in my experience most of the course material is outdated and disorganized. Various sources are just tossed together, accumulating over the years like dust bunnies, with almost no attempt to structure them into a coherent whole. Most of the instructors are drowsy and unmotivated burnouts, not committed educators. They are there to “help,” but they really don’t care about the curriculum, much of which is just a waste of time. In general, and despite its much-vaunted “flexible” scheduling, OWTC really does trifle with a student’s time. You will spend most of your scheduled hours reading poorly-written trade manuals and, even worse, clicking through “interactive” learning modules. Far fewer hands-on exercises than you might expect. This place is constantly fiddling with its policies and procedures, too, and to no apparent purpose, other than to irritate you. It took me some time to figure out what’s going on, here, but it’s pretty clear to me now. This is certainly not a community college. It’s not even really a school. It’s NOT somewhere to go to learn how to do something. OWTC performs three and only three functions: (a) it serves as the vocational arm for the area’s high schools, i.e. as a babysitter; (b) it’s a good old-fashioned make-work program for drowsy and unmotivated burnouts; and (c) it allows local businesses and manufacturers to offload its more basic employee training and certification onto the public. All of this is to say that you probably shouldn’t bother with OWTC unless you’re a high school student or you’re already employed in industry and your employer is paying for you to get some BS certificate.a h

Worse experience let’s just put it out there, I went in months ago with my son who had virgin hair and he wanted we got told they can’t do pink they’d need to do purple first and then come back to do pink!! Wrong!! Even with an instructor they didn’t refund us or nothing you’d think with proper education going to this place you’d be fully educated thank god for Paul Mitchelle and my friend who actually has helped us for now 4 months she’s helped his hair I paid double the amount from this school and only sticking to Paul Mitchell and their well educated Instructed with more degrees and not them only wanting my money they give me a proper educated steps on how to do it and keep up on his hair such a waste of time and money and to think I was getting the right services trusting even olderly instructor they don’t know a single thing about taking virgin brown hair to a flamingo pink when my friend has done and she will doing looks like my donated money was needed.Natasha Rivera

Their cosmetology section is amazing! So neat and professional. I loved how there were plenty of instructors to continually check in on the stylists work to ensure a good outcome on your hair. I felt like the stylists were properly trained before working, and had a good extent of knowledge to do damage control on surprise twists and turns along the process. If you guys are looking for a stylist to choose, I suggest Kallye Robinson! She’s so nice, knowledgeable, and did such a good job on my hair. See the pics below!Sydney Donavan

I don't have a lot of experience with Weber State University. I did attend a big conference on their campus today. Their food services provided the meal and it was excellent. It's cool they have shuttles to drive the students in from the parking lots far away. On that shuttle I met the most amazing, young, smart student. These college students give me hope for the future!!!Lisa Packard

Amazing day to disc golf! Went around three times and did good my first two rounds, but excelled my last round! Also, UDisc is an app that is all about disc golf; keeping score (including ob/penalties), and a map guide as well it's awesome! I almost aced the third hole 😃Jacob Canfield

Weber State is an amazing university. Their campus is just gorgeous and is always taken care of. The best part is that it’s on the mountain so you always get amazing views. Their staff are so helpful and they offer some amazing classes.Alex Bracken

Before I came to school I was bullied to the point where I was suicidal. When I came to the school they had amazing counselors such as Mr.Kortman, he made a plan to work with me after school to help with grades and any issues that happen in life. With his help I went from D's and F's to all A's. The schools lunch is better than most schools I've been to. The assemblies we have are some of my favorite events. One of them is the assembly that was made to help relieve stress in students called boys vs. girls. Just like it sounds its a assembly dedicated to a gender war. the school also has a good music program for the size of our school. The teachers here are able to work with students in class compared to larger class rooms. The thing you'll hear from almost all the students is that DaVinci is a family. Everybody pretty much knows each other and there's almost no bullying issues, and if there is it only seems to happen with the newcomers to DaVinci. Parents if you want a place where you feel your child will be safe DaVinci is the place. I know that when have a child DaVinci Academy will be the school I send them to.Ren Archibald

Good school, for the most part. Music program is amazing, had a great time learning piano and clarinet as well as trombone, not only that we had a song writing class and that was one of the funnest classes there, and the art programs are awesome as well, got to do pottery as well as art class. It’s a pretty small school though, no soccer field, very small gym, no swim team. Like I said, it’s a REALLY SMALL school. I was bullied pretty regularly, homework was piled on and when I tried to get on the IEP for more help, it was absolutely hell and we weren’t able to get me on the IEP. The principle said my bully would win if we got in a fight, and also said I had it coming to me when I got pulled down and wailed on in the lunch line by another bully. I apparently was missing a class and the school decided to tell me ON THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL, so I had to cram a whole class into one week to get it done and get the credits I needed.Maxstatic

In all honesty, DaVinci is a godsend. I personally have always been very shy and very reserved, up until my 9th grade year, when I started here at DaVinci. This school is honestly one of the most amazing places I've ever gone. The teachers genuinely care about your education, the students are usually some of the kindest and most accepting people there are, and the theater and art programs are astounding. It was here where I learned how to love myself and be myself without being worried about what other people think of me. I love DaVinci.Felix

Great place to for hidden groves, ponds, and shady trails. I especially enjoyed the birdhouse trail. Actually, I was blown away by the sheer number of clever and beautiful bird houses. There are several kinds to explore and if you are lucky you might see a turtle, or three. The Bird of Prey area was also very enjoyable. Such gorgeous owls, hawks and eagles to see. There is a great playground for the children, with pails in the sand and a water pump to add to the fun. There is even a children's library near the playground with some interesting books to read. There are shady chairs to rest on and fantastic sculptures for the kids to climb on. About a mile and a half of trails to wander and even a hidden "mouse hole" to find. Spend a pleasant day enjoying nature and support the wonderful educational programs in this unique getaway.Rick Jones

This morning we enjoyed a pleasant autumn walk among mostly golden-leafed trees. Birdhouses line the walk up to the visitor center and gift shop. A short walk from there to the children's play area. "Enjoy meeting some of Utah’s native animal species up-close through our live exhibits of birds of prey, snakes, salamanders, tortoises, and spiders." While there is the trail to walk and things to see, check out their website for events and activities.Jeanette Rodgers

Love ONC! Flat trails great for little kids. Lots of areas to explore and play and use imagination! Amazing welcoming staff. Love visiting the beautiful birds especially the eagles. Plenty or benches and tables to have a picnic or a nice lunch outside. Highly recommend membership as it had so many benefits included. Visited on

This is a fantastic school that's actually a unique piece of art deco history. It was built post World War II and features a lot of very unique craftsmanship that can only be found in this building. It was recently renovated and brought up to code with new windows placed throughout and several other additions. The school has some great programs including the international Bachelorette program. It is located right off of Harrison Boulevard and his Central to Ogden City both North and South. Some of the faculty and staff here are the best that you'll find in Ogden.Robert Bolar

I loved this school, F*** Ben Lomond. OHS is a true historical land mark dating back since the "great depression" great school and rooms, excellent air conditioning. Basement is haunted. Bruces room in ceramics is hot as balls. But is a great school overall, except for The ROTC building, it is outdated as F***. BEST SCHOOL IN UTAH EVEN IF WE DON'T WIN ANYTHING!!! Auditorium has Fu**ing gold paint, made from real F***ing gold. I mean come on, please that is so unnecessary it is cool. If you mind you own business, no one bothers you, simple as that.Wumbolus

Pretty intimidating at night, just the way the lights are positioned in this clearly Gothic inspired price of architecture. I keep expecting Dracula to come out. A little chilling. I have been told that the inside is stunning though.Beatrice Butcher

My son attended 10th-12th at NUAMES. I was continually amazed at how invested the administration was in my son's education. So glad to see building D completed before he graduated. Thank you NUAMES!David States

maybe go if you want to get jumped by some preppy kids 😒😒 you don’t flush the toilet one time and that’s what you get? don’t recommendbugs with mono

It's a great place to enjoy a variety of things to do, from children activities to senior games and everything in between. Along with a multitude of classes to enroll in, you also have a staff that is friendly, knowledgeable and most of all professional. With the constant upgrades, they are keeping up to date with the growth of the community.Timothy Rogers

He was my uncle, killed in the line of duty. Years ago in the gym we played volleyball, basketball, enjoyed swimming the most in a large pool. We attended several classes, we miss all the activities that kept us out of the streets and avoided trouble. Here are some of my memories. I will post more as I find the photos.Shauntelle Bell

My son had a lot of fun playing basketball with the Ogden league. He learned so much on the team about teamwork, sharing and trying hard even when he is not doing well. Very glad to have been a part of that program, and happy the Marshal White center was a part of itGeof Stephens

I've participated in many things with the Ziegfeld Theater and Academy including the Homeschool Program, a multitude of plays and musicals, and even my first job. The team here is comprised of truly some of the nicest people I've met, they really care about what they do and it shows in everything they produce. I've enjoyed everything I've been involved with at the Zig and made so many amazing memories. If your kid has any interest in the performing arts or musical theater, the Zig is an incredible place to start!Aarvys

I attended the homeschool program for two semesters in 2017. Jennifer Hall, the photography teacher, was awesome! Very organized and always on the ball. I struggled with the director's organization abilities quite a bit though. I do wish the programs we put on were better, directed more strictly, and not so cheesy, if you will. But my experience as a student was good. Having the homeschool program opened up opportunities for me.DH Lee

The Ziegfeld Arts Academy puts on amazing shows! The staff is wonderful, and works hard to foster an encouraging, supportive environment for the performers. I recommend it highly!!Sarah Asplund

This is a great school i have 3 kids that graduated from George Washington my oldes was credit ready 4 months befor graduation my 2nd was credit read by the end of her 11th year but stayed enroled so she could do a free year of collage at the O.W.A.T.C. amd my 3rd graduated when he was 16 😱. The counselor gelped all my kids apply for colledge and financial assistance like FASFA and made sure that everything was complete for them to receive it. The pricable really cares about the kids and so does the staff. People say tjere are troubled kids in this school well yes there are but they are in every school my son was bullied in his old school becaus he refused to take kids on "drug runs" and he refused to associate with them amd my girls were not sexually harrased as they were in there "normal" high schools. I love this school and when my 4th child is in 9th grade she will be going here💗Katie Bravo

Loved going here had a lot of one on one and easier learning with the best tutor I'm 23 years old now but never will forget my experience and how comfortable i wasIrishprincess16
