Social-Emotional Learning School
Vanguard’s social-emotional program is guided by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning’s five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills are taught at every stage of development, helping students succeed in school, build strong relationships, and prepare for the future.
Integrating Academic Learning with Social-Emotional Learning
At Vanguard, we know that social and emotional growth is just as important as academics. Every moment at Vanguard is an opportunity for both personal and academic development. When children can manage their emotions, they are more focused and ready to learn, and while learning academics, they are also building skills like patience, teamwork, and self-control. Together, we help your child grow into the best version of themselves—inside and outside the classroom.
Wellness Class
Wellness Class is at the heart of the Vanguard experience, helping students build strong, positive relationships with themselves and others.
Through mindfulness, cooperative learning, coping strategies, and movement activities, students practice social-emotional skills in a fun, hands-on way.
Middle and high school students enjoy daily wellness sessions, while lower school students participate in biweekly wellness sessions with concepts reinforced throughout the school day.
