Project GRIT – Growth, Resilience, Instinct, Tenacity

Click Here for the Gifted Music School Website

Music education profoundly and positively impacts a child's trajectory. It can open new career paths, improve educational results, and enhance a child's sense of self. The GRIT Program strives to bring these life-changing opportunities to all children in our community.

Our music program is a testament to the power of collaboration. It's a joint effort with Salt Lake City School District members and the Utah State Board of Education. By strategically partnering exclusively with Title I schools, Project GRIT is part of a larger community effort to close the opportunity gap for at-risk students. It provides daily, high-quality music and instrument instruction at no cost to students!

Today, over 300 students benefit from world-class music lessons across our three partner schools: City Academy (7-12), the Guadalupe School (K-6), and Mountain View Elementary (K-5). These students, many of whom come from challenging backgrounds, have shown remarkable progress and growth academically and personally thanks to the GRIT Program. None of this would be possible without the generous support of individual donors, foundations, corporations, and government entities who make these critically important programs accessible to marginalized youth who need it most. We invite you to become a supporter by making an online donation to Project GRIT or by contacting giving@giftedmusicschool.org.

GMS is dedicated to bringing Project GRIT to as many students as possible because we know that when children receive quality music education, their potential for success increases in almost every area of their lives. More than that, our students’ success becomes the community’s success as they grow into college graduates, engaged citizens, community leaders, and supporters of the arts.

Project GRIT is a full-scholarship division bringing music lessons to the most at-risk children. Consistent musical training provides a pathway to success, and we believe it should be accessible to all!

We took FIRST place, in our division, at the Battle of the Books competition last year. Battle of the Books is a reading program with a list of 20 books to read. Students and teachers read and complete as many of the books they can until February 2025.  Students will participate in a school Kahoot competition.  The top four students will represent Mountain View at the District Level Battle of the Books Competition in March. The next two students will be alternates.  Complete the form when you finish a BOB book.  You will need to fill out a form for each book you read. You can click on the link below or get a paper copy in the library. There will be a chart in the library to keep track of your progress. You can read the books, listen to them on Sora, or have someone read them to you. See how many you can read.  Happy Reading!

Girls on the Run inspires individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection as a team. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.

Please reach out to the After-School Program Coordinator at your school to register for the Girls on the Run Program at Title I schools.
