Poorly, it was a constant struggle and my son left with low self esteem. He is thriving at his new school.

We have loved Vista. Even with all the neighborhood friends going to a different school, we wouldn’t change. Love the music, art and technology programs. Love the teachers who have great knowledge of the subjects they teach. Love the principals and how they take time to learn everyone’s names. Love the feeling you get when you enter in the school.

Both our kids have had an extra positive experience at Vista. They are very different kids, and the teachers embraced both of their learning styles, helping them to succeed in the fashion they needed. My son got his start learning the tech world here, and has flourished in the real world because of it. My daughter is in the dance program, which is incredible!

My kids have developed in their appreciation and love for the arts which in turn has fostered their creativity and problem solving skills. The staff and faculty are caring and dedicated.

We moved from overseas, and initially, I didn't like the idea of uniforms, but it makes getting ready for school so easy. Also, It was difficult for me as a parent to get used to all the emails. The kids have a homeroom teacher, a teacher for math, another one for science, art teacher, dance, music, etc. So, i would be getting emails from 6 teachers, times the number of children i have there (3) - it was very overwhelming for me and I wanted to switch them to another school. But, I changed the way I organize myself so that my kids could keep going there. This summer, my kids have taken summer classes at Vista and they loved it. My oldest took a 4 day code class and loved it. I love that not only do they have art and performance classes but technology every day. I have looked around at other schools, but none of them have technology at this age. I think its super important, so we are keeping them at Vista this year. Plus, I love the drive to Vista, its like driving through a State Park every day.

Our family relocated to St George from out of state 3 years ago. We looked online to find a school that we wanted our 3 daughters to attend. We initially enrolled them into George Washington Academy because of their high rating. It was a very stressful environment for students and teachers. I wasn't concerned about the high levels of homework until I realized that our children were not developing healthy attitudes towards learning. We enrolled them into Vista the following year, and everything changed for the better. The technology and arts programs are challenging yet fulfilling, and our children are developing a great love of learning in all of their subjects. Vista's environment is always energetic and happy. My kids are excited to go to school everyday and they love their teachers. It's so rewarding to watch them discover and develop their talents in music and the arts. They are also becoming very proficient in technology. Vista has assembled an amazing team of educators that are passionate about their specialized subjects and the success of every child. Vista is an amazing school!

I can't say enough about this school. It is incredible. The way the school sis set up encourages children to reach their full potential. I've seen such growth in my children and love that they gain more experiences than they would at any other school. They are offered music lessons, drama, and choir, yet have access to the most advanced technology and tech programs. This school gives students a balance between art and technology. This is a rare find. We love it.

I have one child in 1st grade in Vista . This is our 2nd year & we love it ! The had laptops in Kindergarten & the have ipads in 1st grade! My child loves all her teachers. The front office staff are all amazing. The Vice Principal Mr. Orem is one of the most intelligent & caring people I have met. I drive 45 min. from my rural community because I feel it is worth it.

A unique learning environment that emphasizes Academics, the Arts and Technology. They have quality teachers and a caring administration. Charter schools are public schools and follow the Common Core curriculum.

I love Vista! I have two boys in the school now -a Kindergartener and a 2nd grader. The technology available to these kids is remarkable and more than they ever could have gotten at the school we were zoned for. They have access to computers adn Ipads everyday. The tech for teachers is SO impressive too. Great tools for learning in different ways. Vista has access to programs only available to private schools, but on a public school budget. My sons are never bored and can advance at their own pace and aren't stuck waiting on other kids. The class sizes are set, and my boys get quality time with their teachers. I can't say enough about the amazing teachers, staff and school in general. Even the office staff knows my sons' names. The parent involvement is great. I feel *heard* by the teachers and the teachers/staff encourage help and advice. I drive me boys 15 mins to attend Vista -even though there is a elementary school within 5 mins walking distance of our house- to me, their education is so important, and as far as I have seen there is no better option then this charter school. I really havent' been able to say all I wish I could. Spectacular school all around!
