I love New Vista’s alternative approach to high school, which is so unique. The fact that it is a small school, that we get to know the students, that the students feel respected and reach our high expectations are all top reasons I choose to work at New Vista. The block scheduling challenges me as a math teacher to engage the students in complex problem-solving tasks to grasp a concept, rather than drill and practice. Also, the collaborative work the staff does is invaluable to me as an educator.
