We also work with individual students to offer opportunities in Jiu-Jitsu, Wild Horse course, Machining, Music production, Sewing, Botany, Construction, Industrial Technology and more. We are continuing to build programs and plan to offer more opportunities in the near future.

Student-Oriented Teachers

Vista Charter School is devoted to offering the tools it takes to succeed through our teaching, student relationships, and dedication.

  • One-On-One Focus – Our teachers are student-oriented, they come first!

  • Self-Paced Instruction – We understand that every student learns differently, so each student creates their own individualized learning plan.

  • Computerized & Standards Based Course Curriculum – We have “anytime”, “anywhere” learning. Whether a student works best virtually or in-person, we will help them reach their goals.

Montrose’s Vista Charter School empowers students to rise above daily challenges and forge their unique paths to graduation and beyond through personalized learning, compassionate guidance, and a trauma-informed environment.

We envision Vista Charter as a model of resilience, collaboration, and empowerment. Our graduates excel academically, actively engage in the community, and inspire positive change, defying limitations and impacting the world around them.

Providing Opportunities through an Alternative and Individualized Approaches to Learning.

We will create a customized educational plan for each student. We take the time to meet with each student and their family to determine the best pathway for them. Students and their families will sit down with a counselor to help them decide what they need to graduate from high school and successfully transition to life after high school based on each student’s goals.
