I am a parent with 3 kids attending Vanguard Charter Academy. My oldest is in 8th grade and started when she was on kindergarten. I also have a 5th grader and a 1st grader. We love the staff and teachers. I personally live that we feel apart of a community and have support if needed. I believe that all the staff has the kids best interests at heart and have gone above and beyond to help out the students. I love to volunteer at the school, help with parties, chaperone and drive for field trips and attending school events.

I went to Vanguard for nine years, starting in kindergarten through eighth grade. During this time, our family moved, but I continued to go to Vanguard because I loved it so much. Vanguard Charter Academy is a great school with a community-like atmosphere. I truly love and miss Vanguard.
