When I first started here at Vista Adult School I was nervous to know how teachers and staff would be like, now being here a year I’ve never had a better experience in a school like I have here at Vista Adult School. I have accomplished so much since enrolling, I’ve completed 6 classes though the high school program because of the support I have from my instructors in class!

Last August, I was hired at the Meggitt Polymers and Composites (Meggitt San Diego, Inc.) as Administrative Support to the Engineering Department. Now I am also supporting the Supply Chain Management Department.

I strongly believe that one big factor why I was selected for this position was because I took the Business Administrative Program at the Vista Adult School (VAS). The advanced skills and techniques I learned in Word, Excel and PowerPoint classes are so useful in performing my tasks as I support a highly technical department.

The course expanded my chances to attain the ideal job where I could thrive and stretch my potential.

It’s worth the time I invested in class. I’m glad I attended VAS.

Enrolling at Vista Adult School was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Attending class makes me feel empowered and in control of my future.

Going back to school 10 years after graduating High School is the best choice that I could have made. Vista Adult School has made the transition very smooth and accommodating with evening classes. I have two jobs and two kids to look out for, so having VAS open in the evening gave me the advantage needed to get prepared for a career. Also, Mr. Niavez is a great instructor and mentor; I have learned everything I will need to know in the medical field, and I am prepared for success. I love VAS.

Amazing school, amazing classes, and amazing instructors. My teacher is always there to help me and support me. I improved my English skills because of Vista Adult School. My teacher makes me eager to learn. So, I returned back after I earned my high school diploma at Vista Adult School.

Friendly staff at their front desk. They made it easy to register for what I want. Courses were explained patiently and directed me to the level I had to be in. My ESL class has been fun and full of good material for me to improve my English. Special thanks to my wonderful teacher Ms. Pattie Campbell.
