Marana Vista Academy is a new high school experience for students in the Marana Unified School District, offering tailored educational learning experiences that will help prepare them for the future. Called “Vista” for short, the application opens on January 21, 2025.
What makes Vista different from traditional high schools?
Vista offers a different high school experience where students dive deeper into core academics (English, science, math & social studies) and develop advanced professional skills preparing them for future careers, education, and opportunities. Students attend classes on a small campus while remaining concurrently enrolled at Marana or Mountain View High Schools, where they can participate in athletics and other extracurricular activities.
Designated learning spaces expand the footprint of Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes such as Business Management, Lab Assisting (Medical), and Dental Assisting. Students will have opportunities for project-based, hands-on learning, as well as internships, apprenticeships, and real-world applications of their studies.
Program Location and Structure
Marana Vista Academy is located in a renovated facility updated to provide a modern, flexible, and inspiring learning environment at 8333 N Silverbell Rd., Marana, AZ. The program will eventually accommodate up to 400 students. Vista students may participate in electives, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities at their concurrent home high school (MVHS or MHS), and students will explore specific topics, concepts, and skills through their core subjects at Vista.
Students will participate in project-based activities that allow them to customize their education to their needs, strengths, and interests,” said Laura Goligoski, Vista Educational Services Coordinator. “Students receive personalized instruction based on their learning styles, and they are given ownership of their learning. It’s an empowering model for motivated learners.
