Have had an amazing experience with Vistamar. The teachers are phenomenal and going to this high school has definitely prepared me for college. The school, compared to most private schools in the area, is very diverse. Additionally, their new food program and kitchen is outstanding.

The small community brings about a family environment, which is taken to the next level by engagement by the staff and mandatory events. For those not in any sports or clubs, dipping your toes in the water is the easiest thing to do and encouraged, regardless of experience level.

RUN, don't walk away from Vistamar School! If your student has the opportunity to attend another school, take it! Don't believe what they advertise. Awful experience.

Great school with a vibrant and welcoming community. Love that lunch is provided every day for all students! Strong academics in a supportive environment- not overly competitive.

Awful experience. Teachers don't care about struggling students. Assistant head of directors is rude and an awful human being. Bullying is definitely ignored.
