Admissions
Who becomes a student at Vista Life?
Our students are adults 18 and older from across the United States, with a diverse range of backgrounds. We support individuals with a wide range of disabilities and with varying educational backgrounds. Some have participated in special education classes in mainstream high schools, others have graduated from high schools designed for individuals with disabilities, while still others have attended or graduated from college. It is not a requirement for a student to have graduated from high school to be accepted into our program.
Vista Life understands that every person is unique and transitioning into adulthood is a different journey for everyone. Our core practice is to create individual strategies to develop life skills, social and cognitive skills, develop a vocational direction, and safely navigate the local communities.
If you are interested in hearing more about our services and programs, please contact our Admissions Department.
A Vista Life
In our Vista blog series, students, members, and staff share their stories and celebrate the Vista community. These posts feature everyone from students who have recently enrolled in our Discover Program, Vista members living independently along the shoreline, and Staff who have spent decades working with students and members.
We hope you will reflect with us on the potential for growth we all share and celebrate the achievements of our students and members. As they demonstrate every day...it is never too late to imagine the possibilities.
