Our Mission

The mission of Mission Vista Academy is to develop the individual gifts of students in Riverside County and adjacent counties to become critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and innovative leaders prepared for academic and real-life achievement in the 21st Century. The mission will be accomplished through quality, personalized, standards-based education, which could include online coursework, offline textbook work, and unique hands-on and experiential learning experiences facilitated in partnership with students, parents, staff, and community.

Schoolwide Learner Outcomes

At Mission Vista Academy, we have goals for our students that are known as Schoolwide Learner Outcomes (SLOs). SLOs are a part of our school culture: they reflect our school vision, the College and Career Readiness Standards, and the education of the whole child.

Mission Vista Students Are:

Navigators of the Digital World – Navigators of the digital world who are proficient in the use of technology, media, and online resources.

Self-Directed – Self-directed and motivated students who are able to set attainable goals to achieve academic success.

Personalized Learners – Personalized learners who are able to thrive in the style of education that best fits their individual needs.

Independent Critical Thinkers – Independent critical thinkers who have the ability to problem-solve, take ownership, and apply their knowledge to a variety of problems.

Responsible Citizens – Responsible citizens who demonstrate integrity and respect while actively seeking knowledge of local and global issues.

Effective Communicators – Effective communicators who can thoughtfully articulate their thinking with confidence while collaborating with peers.

Thank you for partnering with us to achieve our goals!

We are excited to invite you to a Test Prep party in your area. This is a great way for our credentialed teachers to help prepare your child for state testing with fun and games in a relaxed environment. There will be fun activities for the students and information for parents, too. We hope to see you there. Please reach out to your HST with any questions!

Students will rotate through fun workshops and go home with some fun take-aways!

Parents need to remain on campus and are invited to a parent info session.

Please RSVP here by 2/28/20

• This is not a drop-off event. It is essential that parents stay "on campus" the whole time of the test prep-party.
  
• Children younger than 2nd grade may not attend the Test Prep Party. If no other option is available younger children may accompany their parent(s) in the parent info session. They must remain under parent supervision at all times and may not participate in the test-prep activities for the 2-12th graders.
  
• Students from all ICS schools are welcome!
