Alta Vista Campus Welcome to the Alta Vista Campus

Potential abounds at the Alta Vista Campus!

The Alta Vista Campus is the home to a number of specialized programs that serve to foster the success of Dubuque Community School District students. The Alternative Learning Center provides an educational environment focused on engaging students in hands-on learning and success coaching. The Summit Program helps students meet goals of developing life skills that lead to more independent, rewarding adult life. The HEART (Housing Education and Rehabilitation Training) Program is a hands-on learning experience for young people to achieve their goals of attaining a high school diploma while transforming Dubuque’s most blighted neighborhood back into a livable, walkable community for working families. Finally, Cornerstone Academy serves students in need of intensive social-emotional/behavior supports.


Here are some of the many examples of our students engaged in the learning process!
