We will need to see IQ testing for children 6 years of age and older. If you have not yet had testing, we can provide you with a list of professionals who perform IQ testing. Generally, students whose Full Scale Score is 125 or higher will do well in the Vanguard program. For children under 6, teacher observation on the visitation day will be the criteria used.We will also schedule a Visit Day for your child. This will include participation in all three modules of the day and will allow your child to get to know what a Vanguard day would be like.
If the testing and Visit Day indicate a potentially good fit between your child and Vanguard, we will arrange a Family Meeting to discuss each of our observations from Visit Day and to determine if we have a mutual fit.
The benefit of a personalized program is that enrollment can occur any time during the year, so you are always welcome to inquire about Vanguard’s program and admissions process.
