Are you a progressive or inclusive school?
The Vanguard Academy’s student body is composed of students of all abilities, including those with and without special education needs. The average classroom includes eight to nine students with two co-teachers. Curriculum, instruction, and assessments are differentiated to meet the individual abilities, interests, and needs of each student. Standard, modified, and functional academics are provided, depending on the needs and long term goals of each student.
What curriculum does your school follow?
The Vanguard Academy follows multiple curricula in order to meet the unique abilities, interests, and needs of each student. Classroom teachers, with supervision and guidance from their Head Teachers and the Principal, regularly develop, evaluate, and adjust the curricular scope and sequence to maintain relevance for the students in their classes.
Are you accepting new students?
Enrollment is available throughout the regular school year, August to May, and the summer enrichment program, June and July. Enrollment depends on two main factors: 1) optimal match between the student and the school and 2) availability of slots in the grade level or program for the student.
Do you accept neurotypical and students with special education needs?
Yes. We promote and value children of all abilities learning together and learning from each other. Our academic and intervention programs and services meet the unique abilities, interests, and needs of both neurotypical and students with special education needs.
What programs do you have for students with special education needs?
The Vanguard Academy offers a wide range of academic and intervention programs and services for students with special education needs. These include Early intervention, Pre-kindergarten, K-12, Transcend Program, and Allied Health & Related Services.

Do you offer speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and/or physical therapy?
Yes. Our Allied Health and Related Services Program includes three speech and language pathologists, five occupational therapists, and one physical therapist.
