What is the Mormon education system like? Do you have grade schools, middle schools, and high schools? What are your teaching methodologies? I haven’t found much information on the web. Thanks for your help.

Hi friend. With very few exceptions, the Mormon Church does not have secular schools for children and teenagers. We do have religious education programs called "seminary" for teenagers. These religious classes are designed to supplement the secular instruction received elsewhere. Mormon teenagers typically take classes in ancient scripture and modern church history. Similar classes are offered for young adults.
The Mormon Church does have several universities, including universities in Utah, Idaho, and Hawaii, all in the United States. Mormon students come from all over the world to study in these universities. Both secular and religious topics are presented. I had the opportunity to study at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where I got my bachelors degree. Having since studied at other universities, I appreciate even more the high quality education that BYU offers. It really is an excellent school. Hope this answer helps.
