Vanguard is committed to developing citizens who are not only intellectually astute, but also strong in character, which is emphasized within the classroom and modeled by our students and staff.  Parents are attracted to the school’s focus on character development.  Parents choose The Vanguard School because they are looking for a school that provides a coherent, incremental, and content-rich curriculum that challenges their children to excel.  Vanguard provides this atmosphere using Direct Instruction methodology and Core Knowledge® Sequence.  Students are taught in a fast-paced, highly interactive, teacher-directed manner and are constantly challenged to reach their potential as they move through achievement groups.
