Vista Nueva High School gives students a new view toward school achievement and personal success, toward developing new choices and accepting new opportunities. With a provided day care, young parents are offered a place to complete high school without sacrificing the care needed for their children. Students experience classes where teachers work with one another to provide a quality and creative learning environment. Community Service is another part of the Vista Nueva experience with projects occurring every year since the inception of the school.

21st Century Learning Community Centers, which can be located in elementary or secondary schools, or other similarly accessible facilities, provide a range of high-quality services during out-of school time hours (such as before and after school, or summer break). Each eligible entity that receives an award from the state may use the funds to carry-out a broad array of out-of-school time activities to advance student achievement.
