Vision
Vanguard Academy is committed to instilling a sense of responsibility and accountability for students, teachers, staff, parents and
administrators. Our goal is to accelerate students’ academic success through effective teaching practices, parental and community
involvement and administrative support. Vanguard Academy is about recommitting ourselves to the highest standards of education
rather than minimum skills. Our vision focuses around the following quote: “A purpose in life, a reason for learning.” Students will
be active life-long learners, self-learning and behavior, and to view reading as an exciting learning opportunity. Our vision
incorporates the passion for learning where students take pride in their school and will respect the dedicated teachers and staff who
commit their lives to education. Students will hold themselves to high standards of achievement and academic excellence. They will
be grateful for the privilege of receiving an education and they will strive to the best of their ability, to accomplish their educational
goals.
