“Vista School provides an educational environment where immersion in the Arts, Technology and Academics inspires student growth.”

—  Justin Blasko | Principal / Director

Vista is a public charter school that operates under the direction of the Utah State Board of Education, the Utah State Charter School Board, and the school’s local Board of Directors. Its primary funding source is public education funds provided by the State of Utah.

Vista seeks to enhance academic achievement by providing specialized instruction in Math, Science, Technology, and History by highly qualified teachers beginning in 1st grade. This means students learn from the earliest grades from a teacher who is an expert in his or her individual field and who understands how to help the students best learn a specific topic.

Vista broadens students’ academic experiences by providing them with opportunities to explore elective coursework in visual and performing arts and technology. Our students look forward to coming to school because offerings match their interests, which benefit all aspects of their academic experience including academic achievement and attitude.

After-school programs at Vista give students the opportunity to pursue their passion in athletics, technology, dance, strings, and theater at a fraction of the typical cost of private instruction. Students may participate in as many after school programs as they choose.

Vista’s teachers and administration are highly qualified and are required to maintain their teaching certifications. They are leaders in their areas of expertise and student achievement is a reflection of their dedication to their profession. Because Vista is not part of a traditional school district, teachers and administration work together to determine curriculum and instruction that yield the best results for student.

Why Vista?

Academics 

Vista School is proud of having a track record of high academic achievement.  The number one priority of Vista is to provide a high quality education, in a safe environment, led by highly qualified teachers.  Academic achievement is greatly enhanced by offerings in arts and technology.

Vista teachers are certified teachers who stand out in their field.  These educators are the true heroes behind Vista’s student achievement.  Their dedication to students and to their profession is the engine that drives Vista’s success. Because Vista is a charter school, teachers have more latitude to use and pursue instructional material and methods that yield the best results rather than following a predetermined curriculum or delivery method.

Vista enhances academic achievement by providing specialized instruction in Math, History, Language Arts, and Science starting in 1st grade.  Instead of spending the entire day in one classroom with one homeroom teacher, the students move to different classrooms for these subjects to learn from teacher specialists who are passionate about helping the students succeed.

When students enjoy school, their learning outcomes improve.  Because students get to pursue their interests in arts and technology in conjunction with traditional academic subjects, Vista students look forward to coming to school.  This interdisciplinary approach makes Vista a unique place to launch an early love for learning.
