Senior Project

The Senior Project is the last formal learning experience of a student at Vistamar School, completed by every senior. It can showcase a student's potential, demonstrate prior learning, explore new areas of interest, and help develop a stronger sense of self. The Senior Project is an opportunity for Vistamar students to continue their learning in a career or service setting, pushing students to extend their learning into the community.
