Monte Vista Elementary: Where Leaders Grow

At the core of our vision, we believe that every student can be a leader. We build leadership by helping students uncover their unique strengths, interests, and values and providing experiences across a wide variety of disciplines, including music, art, and our incredible Innovation lab.

Our Story

About Us

Since Since 1963, Monte Vista has built a legacy of community and service to our Vista families. Our vision for the future honors this legacy by cultivating student leaders that are prepared for the challenges of our 21st century world. In March of 2020, Monte Vista was officially recognized by Franklin Covey and the Leader In Me Organization as a Lighthouse School. We join a select number of schools across the nation that implement exemplary leadership programs. We will continue to deepen our work by guiding students to uncover their strengths and interests, and build connections to college and career.
