History

When BYA was founded in October 1875, it focused on elementary through high school education. It was intended that the independent school's curriculum would be in harmony with the teachings of the LDS Church, in contrast to the expanding state school system. Many of the early-day students were educated to become school teachers. The school closed in 1968 after 93 years. The main school building was renovated and now serves as the Provo City Library at Academy Square.

gollark: PotatOS's process manager has a TLCO in it for random irrelevant reasons.
gollark: CC is more extensible than OC in some ways because it has `debug` and doesn't have a `machine.lua` limiting a lot of things.
gollark: TheJebForge: you can, technically, just *ignore* ROM, and TLCO out of CraftOS (ish).
gollark: PotatOS is more of a technical achievement than TerrariOSla™ will ever be.
