Our mission statement, as seen above, guides our decisions, words, and actions. It compels us to see our parents in their rightful position — our children’s primary and first teachers. Parents are the crucial piece of the
education puzzle: a piece often left out in today’s typical education process.
This unique partnership offers the opportunity for Vanguard and the parents to provide our students with the academic/intellectual development as well as the spiritual and worldview components that are also vital if we are to raise them to become the next generation of godly leaders. We need this generation to rise up in our world today.
Vanguard Christian School aims to provide a quality education,
accountability, and support in partnership with families as they fulfill the Biblical mandate to raise their children to know, obey, serve, and love God, resulting in young adults who graduate not only prepared for college, but also equipped for life.
The University-Model® combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model.
Validation of the University-Model® by the entire educational community proves its value as a highly credible alternative model of education. The Advanced Accreditation of NAUMS, Inc., along with the growing number of accredited NAUMS* (National Association of University Model Schools) member schools, supports this belief.
The University-Model® combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model. The result is quality, cost-effective, rigorous education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children.
We integrate the Christian faith, formation in virtue, and a biblical worldview into the context of each subject area, so that character building that begins in the home receives support and reinforcement throughout the school community.
The school properly places students in an appropriate stage of academic development. In addition, the school offers academically challenging college-preparatory courses that integrate the age-appropriate level of parental involvement into each student’s satellite classroom experience.
The teachers are in charge of all direct instruction in the central classroom, and they encourage and expect students to learn the material assigned through independent practice and homework. Teachers also provide consistent feedback to students and parents regarding the progress in each class.
While we are fully aware of state regulations of private schools, including compulsory attendance laws, we believe the University-Model® offers a rigorous, college-preparatory education that is second to none.
