We ask that parents attend an interest meeting before applying. During these meetings, you will learn more about the University-Model of schooling and the Vanguard difference. 

Parents complete the application and return it to the school office, along with copies of any school grade reports and/or achievement testing (within the last 2 years); a letter of recommendation from the child’s previous principal (if applicable); 2 references which will be contacted including their current pastor or Sunday School teacher.

In order to place students in the appropriate grade, individual assessments will be administered. 

There is a $75 per student assessment fee due on the day of testing. This fee is non-refundable. A kindergarten readiness assessment will be given to kindergarteners (students turning 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2026). Students in 1st - 5th grades will complete grade appropriate reading and math assessments. 

This family meeting is an important component of the admissions process. We ask that both parents and the child(ren) for which you are applying attend this meeting. Other siblings are also welcome to attend. 

Prior to the start of the evaluation, our leadership will conduct the portion of the family interview that requires the presence of the child(ren).  The parents will be interviewed separately while the evaluation is being conducted.  

Once all records, references and fees have been submitted and interviews and testing completed, the admissions panel will prayerfully consider placement at Vanguard Christian School from a spiritual, academic and social perspective and will notify the family promptly.  

If the class is already full, you will be given the opportunity to be placed on the waiting list. 

Next steps will include tuition arrangements and ordering uniforms and school curriculum, which the parents are responsible for obtaining in a timely manner.
