Triumph Academy was founded in 2000 by Sterling Lyman in Utah as a response to the growing need for quality education within a residential treatment setting. After launching Triumph Youth Services in 1998, Sterling witnessed how many young people in treatment struggled academically due to learning gaps, behavioral challenges, or a lack of personalized support. He envisioned a school that could meet students where they were—academically and emotionally—while also providing a path forward that didn’t carry the stigma of a treatment-based education. That vision became Triumph Academy, a fully accredited, nonprofit private school that not only grants high school diplomas directly through the academy but also works closely with students’ home school districts so that credits transfer and, when appropriate, the final diploma is issued by their original district.
Triumph Academy serves as the academic program for Triumph Youth Services. While Triumph Youth Services provides the residential treatment and therapeutic support, Triumph Academy provides the education. Together, these two programs give students a structured, fully integrated experience that addresses both their emotional and academic needs.
Today, Triumph Academy is located in Brigham City and serves students from across the United States, offering a highly customized academic experience tailored to each student’s needs. The academy specializes in IEPs, credit recovery, and working closely with students who may be behind or struggling in traditional school settings. With integrated academics, life skills training, athletics, therapeutic collaboration, and hands-on learning opportunities, Triumph helps students rebuild confidence, achieve academic success, and prepare for life beyond high school.
The Academy experience at Triumph goes far beyond the traditional classroom. In close collaboration with the Triumph Youth Services team, we focus on building well-rounded students by integrating academics, life skills, hands-on learning, and therapeutic support into each day. From personalized education plans to career and college prep, every part of the experience is designed to help students grow into capable, confident young adults ready to take their next steps.
We help students grow through a balance of academics, athletics, life skills, and real-world experiences.
From college applications to school support, we guide students toward a future they can be proud of.
Our individualized approach meets each student where they are, using flexible methods and IEP support to ensure success.
