Vista has some great teachers, good clubs, and an outstanding head counselor. But the…read moreadministration is awful, specifically one of the VPs and the principal who seams to know everyone's name but isn't really anyone's pal. They fail to force out bad teachers. They marginalize advanced kids who don't fit into their cookie-cutter curriculum. They don't give counselors enough authority, so every request that's out-of-the-ordinary is a 3 month undefined process that can be vetoed at any time. They pay lip service to "caring for and respecting the individual," but they're committed to preserving the status quo at the expense of the individual -- except when IEPs for delayed kids require individual accommodation; then no expense is too great and no exception is too unreasonable. If your kid is precocious and defines themselves by something other than a varsity sport, then do your family a favor and check out concurrent enrollment options through community college and an online charter school like Colorado Preparatory Academy (CPA). CPA gives your kid unrestricted access to sit-down community college classes, and the State pays for it. The courses are taught by instructors who hold at least a Masters in their field, and the courses count toward college. Also, those courses count as two high school semesters for each one college semester: so double high school credit. Your kid can earn enough State-funded college credits to enter CU, CSU, Mines, or Metro as a college junior while still participating in activities through Vista or any other high school. My kids took advantage of that wonderful option and have never been happier or more engaged.

There are great teachers who genuinely care and are engaged, wonderful sports programs, and an overall supportive environment. Since Mt. Vista has an official STEM degree, they also have great facilities and equipment that offer kids unique and fun learning opportunities. Good kids overall, well mannered and come from solid homes. I highly recommend over the other High Schools in the area.

It's been over a year but I was able to get a CNA license from Ann Rose. For me it was an update…read moresince I let my license lapse. Also I was renewing as a personal caregiver and not working in a hospital or care center. I am so grateful for all of the support and encouragement. Things had changed since I last had my license. It was so much easier for me to get in a place with a small group, the one on one attention I received. Also the availability of classes I was able to choose from worked with my family. All of the staff were so helpful and kind. I truly appreciate that and I have recommended them to many different people. Others in my class had already secured a position prior to completing their training. I was able to start in my position days after my testing was complete. Not only do I have my CNA but I am also CPR CERTIFIED.

Just finished Metalsmithing II and love this school. This is the most professionally run business…read morein the world of art classes I have ever experienced. Everything about the school is organized, ordered and first-class, especially the instruction. (Re: the negative review: It's not called attitude when it's true accomplishment. This is so rare that amateurs can't recognize it.) For the investment in the class fee + tools/supplies, I appreciated having such a structured environment in which to learn. Darlene Armstrong, owner/artist/teacher emeritus, has a definite point of view about craftsmanship. And, yes, it is her way or the highway. But who wants to take a class from a teacher who always says, "Sure,you can do it that way if you want; it's your art," when you don't know what the hell you're doing?? So if you are not a serious student of metal work or are just looking for something fun to waste a few hours, don't waste your time/$$ or the school's. But if you want to get better with your art (and learn how to make pieces that are commercially viable), this is the place to learn it the way all apprentices used to--doing it over and over till you get it right. I have been on an ongoing quest for good metalsmithing instruction for the past 10 years and use my vacation time to travel around the country taking classes. On a scale of 1 - 10, I've taken classes that were advertised as 10s that were barely 3s (one last year by a "name" artist who hated to, thus couldn't, teach.). I've also taken classes that I'd rate as 7-8 because they were super fun, but not all that special in my goal to "further my art." DSMA is an 11 because it hit the mark on excellent instruction, excellent venue, excellent design selection (ie., we worked on pieces you'd actually want to wear in real life). This is the only course I have taken in 10 years that had a teaching assistant because there were 11 of us in class (a large number for learning anything with a torch.) That told me that Darlene really cared that every student maximized her knowledge. In fact, Mary Ann was a great bonus to have, because besides the teacher, you always learn from other students who are better than you. Frankly, I over-estimated my own ability, based on my past experience with mediocre teachers. If it hadn't been for Mary Ann, I would have been left behind (something that Darlene did try to emphasize to me before I registered). Part of how I judge the success of my class experience is whether I am inspired to continue to the next level. With Metalsmithing II I was inspired to lower my self-assessment and go back to Metalsmithing I...with DSMA. Sort of a "not knowing what I didn't know." I love that. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I felt I was not well enough prepared for the teacher's expectations ahead of time. It was a big personal value of Darlene's that everyone show up on time and come prepared. I suppose it was up to me to ask more questions about what to expect (and Jennifer who handles all the admin did a super job of sending me tool lists and answering the questions I did have). But when you are from out of town with no prior experience with the teacher or school policies that are so specific, I would have benefited from more of a walk-thru in advance. A simple page on the website of "What To Expect if This Is Your First Class" would have helped. Or a checklist for out of towners, too, like where to stay, how to order lunches, starting/ending studio times, etc. For ex., at other multi-day workshops, lunch is usually provided or easy to procure. Because the school is in a business park in an industrial area, there are no good options for lunch to be ordered over the weekend, and everyone is on their own. I had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to find my own food for lunch (without a car), until Darlene recommended Whole Foods. The lovely people at the Hilton/Doubletree Westminster happily accommodated a quick stop for me with their free shuttle service. But had I known that ahead of time, I could have made those arrangements at the same time I set up the shuttle service, and had one less thing to worry about in an unfamiliar city. Not sure if DSMA wants more out of town students, but, if so, more hospitality would mean a lot. I know I'm not the only traveling class taker. That's an easy fix, tho, and so I highly recommend this school.
