Perfectly Smart

Many parents will drive over hill and through high water to get their children to a good school. We think that’s very commendable. But we prefer that it be unnecessary. That’s why one of the first things to get built in Daybreak was a neighborhood school, in fact one of the excellent public schools that South Jordan is known for. And it’s why, since then, that eight other schools — public, private and charter — have popped up in Daybreak. With another planned in the not-too-distant future. Because if there’s one thing smarter than a good school, it’s a good-and-close school.
