Vanguard College Preparatory School

[EduCativ]

Founded in 1973, Vanguard College Preparatory School is a private, independent, coeducational, college preparatory day school for students in grades 7-12. Enrollment varies year-to-year but is generally under 200. Qualified students are admitted regardless of race, religion, or ethnic origin.
Our collegiate style, the 8.5-acre campus, is entirely wireless. Students use 21st-century tools to support learning and enhance student engagement. Vanguard students consume information using the mobile devices they carry daily; they are encouraged to create media content. State-of-the-art computer labs are accessible to students. Art, drama, debate, publications, service organizations, and non-selective athletics are among the extracurricular options.
Vanguard College Preparatory School is a non-parochial, independent school in Waco, Texas that prepares our students for academic success and fulfilling lives. The Vanguard experience's foundation is based on our core values – rigor, responsibility, and respect. The community of Vanguard students, faculty, administrators, and parents is committed to a personalized learning experience that prepares them to excel at the collegiate level. This commitment is what truly makes Vanguard Waco's best high school.
Sitting in the heart of Waco, Vanguard's small class sizes provide students with the academic freedom to discover intellectual and personal passions through a demanding curriculum taught by motivated, highly qualified educators. Beyond a robust regimen of core subjects, students are challenged by their peers and the faculty to explore the meaning of complex information and to apply knowledge in the service of their communities and careers. Waco's best middle school and Waco's best high school sit on the same campus site.
We provide a supportive, safe environment for our students. This environment's foundation is based on mutual respect among individuals, students, faculty, parents, and the administration. The mutual respect culture extends beyond the classroom onto the campus, athletic fields, the students' homes, and the surrounding community. Our students' self-respect and their respect for others are foundational to success in any endeavor after Vanguard.
We develop responsible students by entrusting them with an age-appropriate degree of freedom, balanced with clearly defined behavior and accountability standards. The interaction of freedom and accountability between students, faculty, and administration helps each student exercise the integrity, self-discipline, and responsibility necessary for success at the collegiate level.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child and your family. Finding the right school is about learning where you and your family belong. Families who come to Vanguard College Preparatory School say there is an indescribable feeling you get once you step on campus and enter your first classroom.
Maybe it is our diverse and welcoming community. Maybe it is our challenging and well-rounded curriculum that will encourage your child to make the most of their skills and talents as they find their passions inside and outside the classroom.
Whatever it is, Vanguard students seem to thrive in our challenging yet supportive environment. We recognize that our students will enter into a broader community where it is vital to understand the world on global terms, to be able to communicate with others within that world, and to understand the cultural lenses through which others view their world.
