I personally struggled a lot in public schools but once I got to Vanguard, I felt like I was at home and people understand me.

I've been very impressed with the quality education my son has received but even with a boarding school you still as a parent have to be your kids advocate. As with any school that has any special learning program they do have challenges with selecting appropriate students for the school and they seem to always want to give a child a chance. Sometimes that creates a situation where they accept a kid who is not 100% appropriate for the program but they seem to weed these kids out quickly.
