PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The Vanguard School offers an Extended School Year (ESY) Program for its students and for students in neighboring school districts, ages 6 to 21, who qualify for ESY. The program is designed to maintain skills and to reduce regression during the summer months through incorporating academic, social, behavioral, and vocational needs of students from individual IEP goals.
The engaging and fun Lower School program is designed to meet IEP goals through academic, social, and enrichment activities. Lower School students use the SRA Summer Adventures in Reading Series to maintain reading competencies. A combination of manipulatives, Touch Math, and practical math lessons are used to reinforce math competencies.
The Middle and High School program focuses on academic skills, personal independence, building healthy relationships with others, vocational training and community service. Students in Middle and High School classes use literature and reading materials from the Great Source Reading Advantage Program to refine mastered skills and strengthen emerging skills. Math skills are reinforced within the context of practical, "real world" activities such as budgeting, planning for and shopping at local stores, and problem-solving to complete collaborative class projects.
