“Vistamar School was founded on a commitment to diversity of thought and culture that encourages authentic exchange of perspectives, mutual respect, and a mature understanding of the world,” said Chris Bright, Head of School. “Early on, we realized an opportunity to provide any student in the LA area the chance to meet with a broad range of top college representatives, whether or not they had time and resources to travel widely.”
There will also be workshops for students and parents on Financial Aid Basics, offered in English and Spanish, and on the Historically Black College and University Experience.
“In past years, we’ve had over 700 student and family attendees,” according to Gregg Murray, Director of Life Planning at Vistamar School. “College representatives appreciate that they can efficiently meet such a wide variety of strong students.”
