CAMP PROGRAM INFO: For over 50 years, The Vanguard School has been working works with middle and high school students who face challenges in academics or/and social relations. Our students range from specific reading or math difficulties to anxiety in the classroom or during testing.
We also include students who need support developing executive functioning skills such as time management, planning, organizing, or self-advocating. We also help students realize and develop appropriate relationships through boundaries, communications, and engagement in activities such as volunteering, sports, and interest clubs. We have had a fabulous start to our 2019-2020 Vanguard School year, but now we are gearing up for our Summer Program Beyond the Classroom!
The Vanguard School, also, has an exciting summer camp Beyond the Classroom, and it is an outstanding opportunity for our students to experience The Vanguard Family and get to know new students and teachers in a relaxed environment and a much smaller setting.
Our summer camp goes beyond the traditional classroom, addressing not only academic skills but targeting the increasing need for social and emotional learning and life skills training that is at such a deficit in today’s students.
The social-emotional curriculum helps students to attain the skills necessary to manage and interpret emotions, feel and show empathy, exhibit self-control, make responsible decisions, and interact with others in our digitally-influenced world. Our summer program is packed with fun, learning, and growth opportunities! Please review the attached flyer to find out more!
