If there is one thing the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, it's the value of human connection. Isolation can be just as debilitating as any disease. Connection is a core human need we very often took for granted prior to the pandemic. That is why the diverse and warm people of The Vanguard Academy play the most vital role in educating students in the most effective and personal way possible. What makes The Vanguard Academy different are the very inclusive and diverse staff who teach, help, and cater to the equally diverse students of the school.
Being with people one can trust and relate to encourages one to open up and in return give the people of The Vanguard Academy the best environment in which to educate and instill the four core values of respect, integrity, courage and humility. To get a full sense of the people of The Vanguard Academy, just spend a day in the school and witness the students' smiles and complete trust with the teachers and staff. The value of human connection is evident among the students, teachers, and staff.
