Science Sequencing
We want all students at Vista to graduate with a well rounded science education that will better prepare them for life beyond Vista. To assist students and
parents better understand the sequence of science classes necessary to reach academic and career goals, we have created this sequencing chart
The minimum graduation requirement is 3 science courses which must include at least one physical science and one life science course.
