At The Vanguardian, admissions is the process through which we teach students how to write.

Together, we read classic fiction, analyze scientific literature, and craft essays to supplement a humanities education that is often lacking in our post-pandemic classrooms.

Our students attend the most selective summer programs (e.g. RSI, Telluride) so that when senior fall comes, they have both the writing chops and research experience to excel in the college application process.

With The Vanguardian, development is a multi-year process that shapes each child into an insightful and interesting young adult who stands out in even the most elite candidate pools.

Over the last 7 years, more than a third of The Vanguardian students went onto Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford, and all have matriculated at T-20 colleges.
