A Message From Our Directors
New Vistas Center For Education
Welcome to New Vistas Center for Education, educating students from preschool through sixth grade. The differences between standard paradigms of educational institutions and what we offer at New Vistas can be found in graduate testimonials over our 40 year history. But this does not answer the "why" of our success. New Vistas' founders have contributed years of research and plugged in hard data about what works to graduate students who are equipped to found companies, who believe that learning has no ceiling, and who contribute answers to our country's and the world's most perplexing questions. To the best of our knowledge, what we do here is unlike any other school in the Phoenix Valley and possibly the country. What makes us different?
