Students in grades 9
through 12 who are fascinated by science and technology are exposed to real
world scientific learning experiences using the environment as a theme to guide
instruction. Students use Service Learning, science and technology to solve
real world problems – preparing them for success in post-secondary education
and/or skilled employment in a science-based economy. The structure of Delta
VISTA is one where professionalism is stressed everyday in preparation for
entering the work force or further academic/technical training. Currently, nine
(9) Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered: AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP
Chemistry, AP English, AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, AP
Spanish, AP United States History, and AP World History. Delta VISTA also has
partnered with Grand Canyon
University to offer 16
semester units each year to juniors and seniors with a summer program. These
university courses are free of charge to our students.
Delta
VISTA is also the high school home of Pathways to Health Careers (P2HC4), a
four-year program that introduces students to the various fields and areas of
the medical world. Students in the program take courses related to the field of
medicine including: Medical English, Medical (human) Biology, Medical
Terminology, Sports Medicine, CPR/First Aid, Epidemiology and more. Two Fridays a month during a student’s
freshman/sophomore years, students will participate in seminars that include
guest speakers from the medical community, field trips and workshops. During their junior/senior years, students
will participate in various internship programs exposing them to the medical
fields. Several of the classes will be
articulated with Delta
College, earning students
college credits while in high school.
Students interested in Delta
VISTA or P2HC4 must complete the interview process. Once accepted, students
with the assistance of parents/guardians and Delta VISTA teachers will register
for the classes that will fill their four-day-a-week schedule. On Fridays students must commit to learning
activities that are off site.
