Opening Our Doors: Bringing High-Level STREAM to the Fox Valle
At Vanguard Gifted Academy, we believe that high-level inquiry and scientific discovery should be accessible to every curious mind. This spring, we are thrilled to launch a major community outreach initiative designed to ensure that world-class STREAM enrichment is available to all students in the Batavia area and beyond.
By hosting free after-hours events and partnering with local organizations for summer scholarships, we are working to remove barriers and welcome our neighbors into a collaborative world of logic and discovery.
“We want to make sure that every student who wants this level of challenge gets it. Our after-hours events are specifically designed to welcome our neighbors—including families from the Batavia Apartments—into a world of collaborative logic.”
— Amy Trujillo, Head of School

To ensure our camp is inclusive of all diverse thinkers, we are proud to announce a partnership with the Batavia Women’s Club. Together, we are offering full scholarships specifically for middle school students.
Our summer camp is built on the "Vanguard Difference"—maintaining a strict 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, receives the individualized mentorship they need to solve complex problems through the lens of STREAM.
