  Brian Bailey is celebrating his 24th year as an educator. He began his teaching career in 1997 in New York City, in a truly global school—over 20 languages were spoken by the student body! This experience armed him with a passion for diversity, and an understanding of the true power of language. In 2002, he moved to Southern California, and brought with him the desire for nurturing globally competent young people, who are prepared with the knowledge and skills required to tackle our planet’s most challenging problems. Brian has been a classroom teacher, an Instructional Coach, a baseball coach, and a district level support provider. To Brian, being part of the Vista family “feels like being home.” He loves being part of the Vista family and strives daily to make Vista the premiere school in Orange County.
