The Vista Academy has a special program that is unique to our school called Specialties. They are special classes that focus on all the types of visual and performing arts. Specialties include Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art, Drama, and Dance. We also have a Computer Lab and Library.
Elementary students go to each class once a week for an hour to an hour and a half.
Middle school classes visit each specialty once per block for 2-3 class periods and as necessary. Specialty teachers and their students present fall and spring performances for all students and visitors from other schools. In art, students learn about techniques of art, as well as participate to art-related activies. An Art Festival is held every spring to showcase all student work. In dance, students learn about the art of dance, dancing forms, as well as things like square dancing and other activities.
