Vanguard is proud to partner with Momentous Institute, UT Southwestern Medical Center, and PrismCare. Read more about our partnerships below.
Momentous Institute
Vanguard is proud to partner with Momentous Institute to offer student and family camps throughout the school year at their beautiful nature-focused location in East Texas. These programs teach mindfulness and the power of nature to support social and emotional health. The goals for the program are to:
- Strengthen relationships
- Enhance social-emotional well-being
- Unplug from electronics
- Improve communications and problem-solving
- Explore the healing power of the natural world
Set on a sprawling 1,200-acre property with a 24-acre lake stocked with bass and crappie, the camp offers endless adventure. Students, staff, and families can fish, canoe, navigate a low ropes course, explore nature on guided hikes and trailer rides, play basketball, kickball, and other field games, and gather around evening campfires.
UTSW Medical Center and Prism Health Care
Vanguard’s research partnership with UTSW Medical Center and Prism Health Care highlights our commitment to a holistic educational experience. By combining the expertise of educators and medical professionals, we are developing tools to identify and respond to subtle stress biomarkers in our students. This proactive approach helps students overcome challenges while building the skills to recognize and manage their own stress. Together, Vanguard and our medical partners are shaping a brighter future for every student.
