Vistamar School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vistamar School is a non-profit, private, co-ed college-prep high school in the South Bay of Los Angeles, California.
Vistamar School opened in September 2005, following almost four years of research, planning, fund raising, and personnel recruitment. At the moment, the school has a large facility, but the amount of useable space is currently quite small. Over the next few years, Vistamar hopes to expand and use the current amount of space available for their use.
