Discover the Vanguard Difference: Join Us for Discovery Day!

At Vanguard Gifted Academy, we understand that gifted students don’t just learn faster—they learn differently. They need an environment that matches their pace, fuels their curiosity, and supports their unique social and emotional needs. Join us for our Discovery Day open house on Saturday, April 11th, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Experience our student-led "Vanguard Bucks" auction, explore our STREAM-focused projects, and meet the educators dedicated to helping gifted children find others like them. We have room for new students this fall and would love to show you why this is the best place for your child to grow.
