It
is Vista Real’s goal to provide:
A safe and affirming learning environment
Highly qualified teachers
State standards of education
Vista Real Charter High School continually seeks to find highly
qualified teachers. All of our teachers hold credentials from
the California Department of Education.
VRCHS curriculum meets the California Department of Education
high school graduation requirements.
Vista Real provides a safe, secure campus where students can learn
in a controlled environment. Courses are taught by highly qualified,
credentialed, and supportive teachers trained to meet the needs
of the students.
Using the information gained through assessment, student skill
level and student interests, and their own Supervising Teacher
assists the student in making initial course selections. As progress
increases and interests change the selection of the courses of
study may be modified.
Vista Real believes that part of its unique mission is to personalize
the learning process to meet the ability, pace and interest of
the student. In order to achieve this goal a diagnostic computerized
assessment is made of the math and reading ability of all newly
registered students. These assessment scores play a very important
part in assisting the Supervising Teacher in enrolling the student
in classes appropriate to his/her skill level. The academic progress
of each student continues to be measured by the same assessment
process at the end of each semester.
Vista Real believes that math and reading skills are the basic
components of academic success. To help the student broaden math
proficiency, classes of Basic Math Skills, Pre-algebra, Algebra
1 and Geometry are offered.
Students reading below grade level have the opportunity to be
a part of our Power Reading Program. This course is designed specifically
to meet individual reading needs. Many of our students have made
remarkable progress after only 12 weeks of study. Small classes
with individualized instruction and extra tutoring support these
programs.
To broaden the student’s educational experience elective
classes in art, Spanish and computer technology are available,
along with many others. For seniors making plans for careers and
college, the Senior Portfolio class provides a learning experience
that gives each student the opportunity to be familiarized with
the process of decision making, job searches, employment applications,
college applications and participating in job interviews.
Being a part of community service projects or participating in
“job-shadowing” gives the student skills for the adult
world.
Employed students can earn high school elective credits. Work
permits are issued to students at VRCHS so that students can earn
elective credit by working or volunteering. Contact a VRCHS teacher
for more information.
