Vista College Preparatory Inc

Vista College Prep is founded with the firm belief that:

 

• ​Demographics do not determine destiny.
• College preparation begins in kindergarten.
• Character education can and must be taught.

 

Vista College Prep is built on the best practices of high-performing, no excuses charter schools nationwide. These schools have a proven track record of academic success and have demonstrated that low-income students can succeed and graduate from competitive and demanding colleges.

Vista College Prep's model is rooted in seven central tenets: 

 

1. Exceptional Teachers​: Teacher quality is the number one predictor of student achievement.
2. Literacy is Everything:  40% of our school day is focused on literacy instruction.​
3. More Time=More Learning: We have an extended day (7:40-4:00 pm) & year (185 days).
4. Strategic Use of Data: Data analysis drives effective teaching & individualized instruction.
5. Leadership Development: We are teaching and growing our future leaders.
6. Structured and Supportive School Culture: A rigorous and joyful school environment. 
7. Family Engagement: We have a strong partnership with our families.
