Meet the Team

Patrick Sedivy is a passionate educator and founder of Cumorah Academy, a non-profit private school in the Czech Republic.

 

Born in Canada to Czech parents who defected from communist Czechoslovakia. He served as a missionary in the Czech Republic where he developed a deep love for his heritage and later returned with his family. Patrick's experiences sparked a vision to establish a school that would empower young adults to make a positive impact.

 

Patrick and his wife Allyse are driven by their faith and commitment to education. They believe that the rising generation holds the key to solving global problems. Through Cumorah Academy, they aim to equip young adults with the knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary to lead and make a difference and become lifelong learners and leaders in their families, communities, and professions.

Kelly's life is a testament to perseverance and humor. A former baseball scholarship recipient at Snow College and BYU, Kelly proved that with hard work, he could overcome any obstacle – including a less-than-stellar ACT score.

 

After earning his bachelor's degree in history from BYU and master's degree in public health, Kelly spent 37 years serving in Seminaries and Institutes of Religion. His adventures took him to Utah, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and back to Utah.
