College & Career Readiness

At Vista Preparatory Academy we believe that all students are capable of continuing on to post-secondary education.Post-secondary education is any education after high school. Examples include: obtaining a college degree(s), technical schools, or certificate programs.

Vista Preparatory Academy is a GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Under-graduate Programs) School. The GEAR UP grant provides funding and resources to foster a college–going culture and to promote college and career awareness.
