Are you growing increasingly frustrated with traditional schooling? Do you find yourself wondering if there’s a better way to prepare your child for real-world success? You’re not alone.
Thousands of parents across Utah are discovering the transformative power of microschooling, an educational approach that’s redefining what learning can look like.
The Visionaries Behind Elite Performance Prep Academy
Elite Performance Prep Academy was founded by Tasha Su’a, a passionate educator and innovator who recognized that traditional education wasn’t adequately preparing students for real-world success.
With a vision for a different kind of learning environment, Tasha created EPPA to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical life skills.
Leading the charge in Orem is Breezie Tupuola, a dedicated educator whose personal journey through traditional education left her feeling unprepared for adulthood despite her academic success.
As a 4.0 student who graduated during COVID, Breezie found herself struggling with basic adult responsibilities despite years of excellent grades.
“I realized that I didn’t know how to do things, like how to be an adult. Adulting is really hard,” Breezie shares. This eye-opening experience fueled her passion for a different kind of education, one that equips students with both academic knowledge and practical life skills.
Now, as a mother herself, Breezie is even more committed to creating an educational environment that she wishes she had experienced. “Knowing what I had to go through, I wouldn’t want that for my kid as well,” she explains. Her approach combines warmth and empathy with high expectations, encouraging students to give their best from the beginning.
The Traditional Education Gap
Many of us grew up in traditional schools, earning high grades and checking all the right boxes. Yet, when we entered adulthood, something was missing. We knew how to take tests but struggled with real-life skills like financial management, career navigation, and self-advocacy.
This education gap isn’t just frustrating, it’s holding our children back from reaching their full potential.
