It can be challenging for parents to find a school that is a good fit for their child. Many worry about the academics, whether their child will fall behind, and the amount of personalized attention their child will receive each day. However, at Vista College Prep, we’ve been the highest performing school serving low-income students in Phoenix for the past four years. Here’s how we meet and exceed the expectations for academic excellence, leadership development, and community involvement year after year. 

Thousands of parents across Arizona are facing weekly disruption to their children’s educational as the COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools to close across the state. These families want the best for their children: high-quality instruction from professionally trained educators, equity for all students, and preparation for lifelong success.

At Vista College Preparatory, we have the same desires for our scholars and have transitioned our classes to online virtual classrooms. Our charter school keeps your scholar’s educational career on track and helps them develop a learning routine that will benefit their future. 

For a student, there’s nothing more exciting than piling into a yellow school bus on field trip day.

However, for many schools, field trips are being increasingly cut from school calendars.

Finding a school that is the “right fit” is just as much of a concern for teachers as it is for parents. Schools vary in philosophy, culture, and instructional model, as well as the level of support provided to staff. Whether you’re a first-year teacher or a seasoned educator, here are five things to look for when exploring open roles.

Parents want more for their children:  more high-quality instruction from skilled, compassionate teachers, more education equity for all students, and more preparation for success.  At Vista College Preparatory (VCP), we are focused on giving your child more.
