The Vanguard School (9-12)

The Vanguard School is the top performing high school in Colorado. The Vanguard School is a Colorado Springs charter high school with a maximum enrollment of 400 students, and it is an extension of Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy. It provides students with a classical liberal arts and sciences college preparatory curriculum stressing the development of moral character, basic skills, and logical analysis. The Colorado Springs charter high school emphasizes daily the self-respect which results from a child’s academic accomplishment, proper conduct and regard for others. Students perform important, rigorous work in a well-structured and caring environment. Both their conduct and dress must support the school’s seriousness of purpose.  Every student is capable of achieving his potential to the fullest extent when afforded respect, fairness, kindness, discipline and appropriate instruction.

The Vanguard School's students have earned the highest ACT composite average in Colorado for each of the past two years! In addition, Vanguard has been consistently ranked at the top of the state based on CSAPs. Vanguard is ranked No. 130 out of Newsweek's 500 Best American Schools 2011. We expect our students to attend college, and we prepare them accordingly.
