It is a beautiful experience going to Vanguard Highschool due to its expressive curriculum of different STEM oriented career pathways as well as a unique campus filled with amazing cultures and traditional customs coming from our diverse multitud of alumni that reside at Vanguard.

Teenagers will be attracted to ea...

Overall, I love this school! Its one of the best schools in the US and it has everything you would want to see in a great school. If you decide to go here, keep in mind that the homework load is to the extremes and work in general is very very hard. You have to learn a lot by your self but if you ar...
