Vision Charter High School has developed a culture of caring and kindness. The students feel like a big family. The single biggest reason for
students to stay at Vision Charter School through High School is because they know they have the BEST teachers and the most amazing
educational program where they can leave high school with a liberal arts AA. They know that they matter to the staff. They know that the
teachers care and will go the extra mile to help them succeed. They know they are not a number and they will not fall through the cracks.
Vision Charter School is committed to having distinguished staff. I believe we have successfully met this goal! At Vision Charter School, it is
cool to care about learning and do your best! Being in the drama team, on the honor roll, swim team, or Robotics is considered cool!
Students know that they have a right to have their learning protected and do not accept any student disrupting their learning. Students know
that our highest priority is that they are safe and that we teach to the high in an art and science focused school. Students understand they
have a right to feel safe and cared about! It is an exciting place to learn and teach.
Vision Charter School is a school of choice for students wanting a safe, college prep science and art focused education.
