Vanguard Learning is designed for families who value an inclusive, learner-centered approach, want to stay actively involved, may benefit from extra support as their child ages, and are looking for some structured socialization opportunities.

Vanguard Families:

  • Believe in a flexible environment that honors each child’s pace, strengths, and learning style.

  • Support a balance of academic growth, character development, and life skills.

  • Embrace nontraditional, guide-led learning.

  • Appreciate responsible, purposeful use of technology and AI—without relying on screens all day.

  • Align closely with our core values, which guide everything we do as a learning community.

  • These families are open-minded, partnership-driven, and excited to help co-create something meaningful—together.
