Vistamar School’s globally influenced curriculum and diverse learning community fosters an intellectual engagement and understanding of the world. Every day, our faculty inspires students to think critically, find connections between themselves and others, and collaborate as global citizens. Vistamar students are expected to carry a minimum of five regular credits during each school term. The requirement for the Vistamar diploma is the equivalent of 21 full year courses, which must include the 15 courses meeting the minimum requirements for entry to the University of California system. Beyond the UC-prescribed courses, Vistamar students must take a full year of modular science and a full year of Global Studies in grade nine, and an extra year of foreign language. Participation in a grade-level seminar each year is also required.
