About Rio Vista

Where Condors Dare to Soar!!!

Rio Vista Middle School is an intellectually vibrant place where innovation, curiosity, respect, and challenge are the norm.

As you’ll view our website, online calendar and witness on campus visits, Vista exists at the intersection of theory and practice.

Our goal at Rio Vista is to launch our students on a path of lifelong learning that is informed by passion, compassion, and engagement in the community. Here, students are expected to think in ways that are critical and complex, relying on a synthesis of ideas that is consistent with the work they’ll do throughout their lives.
