Who We Are

Elite Performance was founded by parent advocates who wanted to create a homeschool alternative for students and athletes who thrive best outside the standardized learning space.

Our educators and coaches are highly experienced and passionate about our unique, holistic, student-focused approach.

Our main strategy is rooted in collaboration. We support parental/guardian efforts at home with a classroom environment that prioritizes a balance of physical, intellectual and emotional wellness. We give student athletes the tools and the space to be highly engaged in their own education. Our small student-to-teacher ratio allows us to maintain regular, open communication with our students and their support systems. 

Our schedules and curriculum are tailored to varied learning styles.

Families all over Davis county are already raving about their experience!

We love what we do, and we’d love to show you how we do it!

Our Mission & Core Commitments

We aim to shape the whole individual by fostering a genuine love for learning, guiding growth that fits each student's unique needs, and developing the essential life skills to transform them into life-long champions.

We accomplish this by committing to three core pillars:

A Love for Learning: We cultivate an engaging, dynamic environment where education is never a chore, and students genuinely want to come to school.

Individualized Growth: We adapt to the learner. Our framework ensures every student progresses in a way that fits their unique needs and learning style.

Essential Life Skills: We go beyond traditional academics. By focusing on mental performance, emotional stability, and intellectual intelligence, we equip the whole human for the real world.

What We Do

We’re reimagining how students learn and grow. As a micro school and athletic training facility, we blend strong academics with sport-specific physical training.


At Elite, students are active participants in their journey. They speak with purpose, lead with vision, and learn through action. Every moment is designed to develop the mindset, skillset, and confidence of a future-ready leader.


How We Teach: Learning That Builds Leaders

Student-Led Exploration: Students choose inspiring topics, research deeply, and share creative insights. They lead discussions and projects, sparking innovation from day one.

Socratic Discussion & Critical Thinking: Coaches ask open questions and present real-world challenges that encourage original thinking and clear, articulate expression.

Public Speaking & Communication: Students practice presenting ideas and leading conversations, sharpening confident, effective communication skills.

Strength-Based Mentorship: Coaches highlight each student’s unique talents, crafting personalized paths to maximize growth and success.
Integrated Academics & Athletics: We connect mental agility with physical training, developing endurance, focus, and resilient problem-solving skills across all areas of life.

Curriculum

Our comprehensive curriculum encourages student-led exploration, critical thinking, college and career readiness, and responsible civic engagement. Every child’s learning journey is unique, so their curriculum emphasis and pacing should be, too. Regardless, every part of our curriculum promotes discipline, mental fortitude, and self-belief.

We utilize a range of resources to build curriculum options including Studies Weekly, Empower, Khan Academy, Junior Achievement (a two-time Nobel Prize-winning program), and more. All are carefully vetted by our certified teachers. Parents may also request customized curriculum options for their child.

MEET THE OWNER & FOUNDER OF EP UTAH NORTH

ALITHIE FU'E ROCK

Owner and Chief Executive Officer

“It’s not our abilities that shape us—it’s our choices.” — Professor Dumbledore 😉


F7 sums me up: Faith, Family, Food, Fitness, Finance, Fashion & Freedom (and audiobooks, but they didn’t quite fit!). A Utah transplant, I was born and raised in Southern California by wonderful parents and a village like no other. After college and a church mission overseas, I became a stay-at-home working mom—juggling four amazing kids and graveyard shifts across industries to avoid daycare.

I proudly supported my brilliant husband Levi through his education and career as an electronics engineer for the Department of Defense.


With two decades in finance, education, and coaching—and through earnest prayer—it’s finally my turn! We’re thrilled to open our own microschool and athletic academy. 💪🏽📚


Teaching, especially young learners and youth, is my passion. Empowering the next generation with skills to become their best selves fuels my purpose.


At Elite Layton, our mission is clear: build strong leaders, cultivate problem solvers and critical thinkers, and foster self-reliance. We’re committed to creating an environment where students and athletes grow in confidence and thrive—nurturing the whole human: mind, body, and spirit. Customized learning plus personalized experiences equals a genuine desire to show up and succeed.


Inspired by Luke 2:52, we believe that whether you’re a believer or not, like Jesus, we can grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with both God and man.

MEET THE ACADEMY MANAGER

LORI CARRIGAN

DIRECTER OF OPERATIONS

Before stepping into education, I spent 10 years working as a registered nurse, which gave me a strong foundation in care, organization, and problem-solving.

I’m also a proud mom of five and have volunteered in schools for over 15 years. Supporting students and families has always been a big part of my life, and I love helping create environments where kids can grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, anything volleyball-related, hiking, and gardening. I’m passionate about building community and encouraging a love of learning in everything I do.

MEET THE DIRECTOR OF ACADEMICS

NIKI HURLESS

HEAD OF CURRICULUM

Hello! I am excited to be part of your child's educational journey and to contribute to a nurturing and engaging learning environment. I bring a broad and diverse background in education, with experience spanning from early childhood to homeschooling, which allows me to understand and support each child's unique needs.

I was educated at the College of Southern Idaho and the University of Idaho, and I have had the pleasure of teaching Pre-K/K at a child development center at Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. Additionally, I have experience as a long- and short-term substitute teacher in both public and private schools, which has strengthened my adaptability and classroom management skills.

As a mother of three grown sons (27, 26, and 21), I have found joy in parenting and learning alongside my own children. My passions include reading, cooking, and gardening—activities that foster creativity, patience, and curiosity, all of which I aim to incorporate into my teaching style.

Currently, I am a small business owner, but I truly miss working with children and am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with littles again. My goal is to provide the best possible educational experience for your child, grounded in kindness, curiosity, and a love for learning.

I look forward to contributing to their growth and success!
