This school is good for people who want to learn more about other cultures and experience diversity and spirituality in ways that they can't learn anywhere else in the world.

If you are strong in the Mormon faith, then this is the school for you. You can feel the spirit here and it is comfortable and stress-free to be around others who share your beliefs. I also suggest those who are not so strong in Mormonism to attend this school, because you get a good experience out of being here as the atmosphere and example of the people surrounding you open your eyes to the gospel. Also, people who enjoy a relaxed, country atmosphere would enjoy this school. It is on the countryside and close to the beach.

Any devoted religious person might feel right at home, or even if they do not have a religion as long as they are able to follow a strict set of rules (we have an honor code dealing with one's honesty, appropriate dress, etc.). Anyone of any race or ethnic background can fit in because of the immense diversity here.
