Enrollment Information

The Vista School welcomes student referrals from nearby school districts any time of year.  Typically, new students are enrolled for the Fall semester, but there are periodic openings as current students transition to the home School Districts.  Vista aims to fill vacancies as quickly as possible.
 
Parents and School Districts working together during the IEP process may contact Kirsten Yurich, Clinical Director of Vista, to discuss admission details.  Not all students with Autism are appropriate matches for Vista's program.  Our admissions team works closely with parents and school districts to determine the appropriateness of a given referral.  Serving as a tool for Parents and School Districts to consider the continuum of appropriate placement options, referrals are non-binding to Vista and School Districts.   "The Vista School has rapidly demonstrated expertise in combining the best elements of broad-spectrum behavior analysis with an emphasis on functional communication and functional activities.  The staff is very well-trained and supervised, and works exceptionally well as a team for the benefit of each student.  I anticipate that The Vista School's reputation for providing excellent services for your children with autism and related disabilities will spread rapidly."

- Dr. Andrew S. Bondy, Pyramid Educational Consultants, Inc.
