I have been at Vanguard Classical School for 7 years and have seen many people come and go over the years. The education there has improved a lot, there are still some areas where there can be some improvements but overall it's a safe environment.

The best part about Vanguard is how close everyone is, from theaters to students everyone knows everyone, and can be supported however they need. Their student services are the best, they support you in each and every way, whether it be a bad day or a mental health struggle they help. Academically it could be improved, but teachers menthols vary and are also open to helping students succeed.

I have been at Vanguard for about 8ish years now and it's been great. I love the events that we host and the sports and activities. I appreciate the way the teachers take their time and teach the lessons and make sure that everyone understands and participates before moving on. I would love if they added more lunch food items especially for vegetarian and vegan students but otherwise I would definitely recommend it.
