Curriculum at Sierra Vista Primary emphasizes the development of strong reading and math skills, as well as an emphasis on social skills, respect and responsibility. The school is justifiably proud of the regular programs offered. It also provides instructional support programs, including Bilingual Education, Chapter1 (reading and math), Instructional Computer Lab, Library, Physical Education, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech, Inclusion, Title VII, and Gifted Education. The school also provides a counselor and a Native American Liaison.

A strongly held belief of both the administration and the faculty at Sierra Vista Primary is the idea that when parents and teachers work together all students benefit. With a variety of parent involvement programs, the school endeavors to keep communication a priority, understanding that this interaction is essential to the success of the students.
