Who We Are
Elite Performance Prep Academy was founded in Las Vegas, Nevada by CEO, Tasha Skipps. Her goal was to provide a unique + elite academic experience that bridged the gap between education and leadership training for the younger generation.
Our student body consists of 70+ students across 10 different states. We are currently operating with one in-person learning center in Las Vegas, NV, six cohorts with in-person instruction and virtual classes for those across the country tuning in. We’ve recently enrolled a couple international students in France and Samoa, and we look forward to brining Elite worldwide. By the end of the year, we will have 3 more learning centers across the US with a plan to plant more in 2024.
Whether in the classroom or in extracurricular activities, we are committed to helping students achieve their full potential while becoming lifelong learners.
Mission Statement
Shape the whole individual—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through innovative instruction, intentional training, and profound character development, transform students into life-long champions.
Success isn’t only fueled by knowledge; it’s propelled by compassion, purpose, and values. Elite students are grounded by core principles: family, faith, freedom.
True strength begins with a solid foundation.
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.

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.
