After School Programs
Vista is offering two different types of classes in our after school program. The first type of class is titled "Optional Enrichment Classes" which are being taught as elective courses designed to enhance your student's regular school schedule. These classes are offered by our Vista Faculty and are offered free of charge for those who wish to apply for enrollment (occasional production fees may apply). The second class type is titled "Vista Conservatory Classes" which are specialty courses offered for a small monthly fee which are taught by Vista Faculty and other community professionals that will allow your students, and if space allows other children from the community, the opportunity to have access to exceptional instruction in a variety of areas at a very reasonable rate.
