New Vista School offers a middle school academic/transition program which provides students with academic growth opportunities while integrating social skills development within the curriculum. Middle school students are required to take a six period day. All students are enrolled in the core curriculum courses which are based off the California Teaching Standards:

English/Literature
Mathematics
Health
Science
Social Studies

Curriculum is molded to meet the achievement levels of each student. Students are placed in mathematics course work as based on their current achievement and performance levels. Students who excel in mathematics may be placed in courses along side high school students.

Students have the opportunity to select elective courses at the beginning of each school semester. The number of elective opportunities will be based on additional academic program needs and at the discretion of New Vista School faculty.
