Thank you for visiting the Vanguard College Preparatory School website

We hope you find some of the answers to your questions by reviewing the information we’ve provided. At the same time, we know that the best way to understand what makes Vanguard School so special is to visit us. We’d be happy to schedule a campus tour. We’re also happy to arrange for prospective students to attend classes with a current student. Call 772-8111 to make an appointment.

In the years I have served as the Head of School, I’ve come to realize that both students and their parents value the same things about Vanguard. Because we are a relatively small private school with under 200 students, we offer opportunities and an environment that cannot be found at other schools in Central Texas. The first is a challenging and stimulating educational experience, made possible by a teacher-student ratio of 1:8 with class sizes under 18.

The second is a sense of support and mutual respect among our students. While some high schools too often seem to be divided by cliques and “in-crowds”, Vanguard fosters a remarkable sense of unity. One of our recent graduates has said, “At Vanguard, your class is like your family, you get to know everyone so well.” I think that sums it up pretty well.

Finally, Vanguard students have more opportunities to explore their interests. At many large schools, a place on the varsity team or popular school activity is reserved for the truly elite performers. At Vanguard, students whose passion sometimes exceeds their skill level can still become full, active participants.

If these qualities seem appealing, please contact us. We’d love to talk more.

Sincerely,

Bill Borg

Head of Vanguard College Preparatory School
