We've had two nieces graduate from Vistamar and our daughter is currently a junior. We have been…read morethrilled with the experience that all three kids have had at the school. The school has an excellent academic program. The curriculum was carefully researched and designed based on best-of-breed programs from private high schools and universities across the country. Classes are rigorous and the faculty is knowledgeable and very focused on the learning environment. We've observed how our daughter has quickly become comfortable seeking out her teachers when she has questions, attending office hours, and becoming a strong self-advocate. Great skills to have for both college and life. One of the most amazing things about the school is the strong culture that Vistamar has created. While the pressure of academics is part of the experience, much of it is neutralized by the strong sense of community and support across both faculty and students. It's an environment that has been really beneficial to our daughter, because it's one that encourages kids to take risks and try new things. She's discovered areas of passion that she may never have found had she not been at Vistamar. Again, something that we want our kids to find at this age so that they can have it for the rest of their lives. The school also does an excellent job bringing students together from different backgrounds and points of view and, through the culture they've created, enable them to build relationships and work together. Group learning and group activities are a big part of the learning culture which help develop skills that will last a long time. The actual school building can be a bit surprising when you look at it from the outside. It's much more of the converted-warehouse-tech-company sort of look than the green-campus-boarding-school. But step inside and watch how the kids work and interact with the environment. It's designed in a way where students and faculty are constantly interacting and creates a comfortable environment where you will often see students lingering well into the evening.

I have two daughters, one who chose to attend Vistamar School. It was the best decision we made…read morefor her. (My other daughter attended a different high school that was the perfect fit for her.) Vistamar is a unique and special school. Its most important characteristic is their intentionality. They have carefully thought through each part of a high school and made intentional choices to build a different and excellent small high school that allows each child to bring their individuality to school every day. The intentionality comes up in both large (why they offer Spanish and Chinese in their language program and require students to pass an oral proficiency language exam in order to graduate) and small (the temperature in the building) ways. You will not find a more enthusiastic and dedicated faculty. Their math program is incredibly strong that is joyfully brought to life by amazing teachers. Their high-level Humanities curriculum requires engagement with great and challenging literature like The Odyssey. My daughter, who wants to be a doctor, has taken advantage of the robust science offerings. All of this is wrapped by two key principals: (a) small class sizes that allow the faculty to know your student and (b) the idea that "there are no spectators" in learning. Your students will be challenged and engaged. As for extracurricular activities, this small school has a number of great opportunities for students. On their sports program, you are not going to have Friday Night Lights football. But what I appreciate about their program is that students are encouraged to try new activities. They have a "no cut" policy when it comes to sports. Their program is built to inspire students to build good, long-term, healthy lifestyle habits and find opportunities to go outside their comfort zone, as well as make new friends. On college prep, the school has built a system that prepares students to be successful in college, while not making the students feel pressurized by the college application process. The school does not want to have students focus their entire high school time on getting into college. The counseling team works closely with each student to ensure that they get into the college that is the best fit for them. As someone who has worked in education for most of my career and as someone who has seen the joy in my daughter's eyes when she talks about her school, I cannot recommend this excellent and innovative high school strongly enough.

Everybody loves Julie. Including me. Especially me. She saved us during the pandemic when I was…read morestressing out about my 18 month old not speaking and not signing, with no way of seeing therapists in person. She was the only one who responded to me since clearly, the pandemic has done a number on many other babies/toddlers as well and every speech practice was slammed. I found her through Yelp as well as personal recommendations from other parents so I already knew she was dependable and trustworthy. On top of that, she is personable, funny, and most importantly, responsive. She reached out to Kaiser's staff speech therapist on our behalf in order to get us switched over from the vendor we were originally referred to, which was such a lifesaver because if you have any experience with Kaiser, you'd know you can never get in touch with anyone directly. She got everything sorted for us and within a couple of weeks (which again, is super fast in Kaiser world), we were scheduled to start Zoom with Ms Amy. We loved her but Zoom with a taby (toddler baby) is what it is - limited. But we were hopeful about more progress in-person and had hoped to continue with Ms Amy once STP reopened but the scheduling just didn't work out. We were a little nervous and hesitant to go with Ms Reanna in person but omg looking back, it was all wasted energy. My taby loved (still loves) Reanna passionately (sometimes to the point where I wonder if...more than me??) Ms. Reanna is just the perfect mix of fun, discipline, and patience for her. She is firm when she needs to be (which was often back then) and is silly and creative when the session allows for it. We have been going to speech for almost 2 yrs and have seen other therapists (who have all been great as well) at STP due to scheduling but she will always prefer Reanna. We went from having fears that she would be non-verbal to now not being able to get her to stop talking. She just will notstoptalking lol. And as a parent, that is both joyful and stressful but I digress. The tools that we have learned at STP and the people that we have met here are worth staying up and writing a long review about. Because Julie and her team deserve all the credit and accolades. Most of all, they deserve to know how much their clients appreciate them and they deserve more families to love on as well.
