Classical Academy Vista (CAV) is proud to be a Leader in Me School, teaching our students leadership and life skills based on Stephen Covey's bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Here at CAV, we believe that every student is a leader.

Leader in Me is an evidence-based PK-12 model, developed in partnership with educators and designed to build leadership in students, create a high-trust culture, and improve academic achievement. It is a school improvement system that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Learn more about the Leader in Me here.

We focus on developing the whole child by:

• Teaching leadership to every student.
• Creating a culture of student empowerment.
• Aligning systems to drive results in academics.

We use two frameworks in our work as a leadership school: 

• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People helps us learn and apply leadership skills, providing a common language for building a supportive school environment. 
• The 4 Disciplines of Execution helps us to identify, track, and achieve academic and personal Wildly Important Goals (WIGs). 

We invite families and community partners to join us in our mission to be Leaders: 

• Attending an upcoming leadership school event.
• Sponsoring or supporting a schoolwide leadership role, club, or service-learning project.
• Attend a 7 Habits of Effective Families training day.

‍This track is designed for families who prefer more flexibility in their curriculum selection. Students work at home five days per week. Students are accountable to a credentialed teacher or Educational Specialist (ES). Parents communicate weekly with their ES via email, phone, or in person. Scheduled parent/teacher conferences are required after the completion of each unit to assess student work and learning. For students using the TCA curriculum, there are Virtual Learning classes for students in grades 1-8. C-track families have curriculum choices and may have funds for outside vendors.
