VANGUARD CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE:


Is an elementary and secondary Christian school founded in 1985 by the congregation of Christian Character
Ministries, Inc. The vision for this education ministry was to design and provide a unique schooling
environment for their children. Great personal sacrifices were made by the staff to see the school established;
and many were the times God made his support obvious. The dream became a reality that eventually reached
children and parents outside the immediate body.
The first graduating class in 1991 had ten students. Some of Vanguard’s graduates to date include: teachers,
firefighters, office and business managers, civil engineers, anthropologists, military personal, home schooling
mothers, medical students, ministers, film industry technicians, and other professionals. Vanguard students
have frequently chosen service related occupations. Over 95% of our graduating students attend college.
From the beginning, the heartbeat of Vanguard has been to prepare young people academically and
spiritually to be successful, Godly citizens, capable of positive contribution to our society. Vanguard has been
a directing force in the lives of many students. Emphasis on Christian values and character combined with a
strong, traditional academic curriculum prepares students for challenges after high school.
Young people enrolled at Vanguard are encouraged to look to Christ as their example and to the Bible as
their guide. Teachers set this precedent before the student body and are actively involved with the children.
Students at Vanguard represent most of the major denominations. Christian Character Ministries, Inc., the
parent organization, is a non-denominational church. Teachers at Vanguard believe that every child is a
unique person with individual strengths, weaknesses, talents, and personality. The mission is to see each
student find a measure of success, thereby developing a healthier, stronger adult. Opportunities range from
playing on sports teams and participating in contests to projects enabling the child to realize his or her
interests. Vanguard does not limit participants according to level of talent. The student is nurtured and talents
are cultivated in every possible situation. Necessary time is devoted to this and also to finding solutions for
existing academic needs. Vanguard’s teachers focus on areas where students need encouragement and as a
result frequently find resolutions for existing academic problems. The school’s success has been notable.
Teaching academics and life-skills are responsibilities taken very seriously by the teachers and staff at
Vanguard. There is constant ministering to the students. Typically, children are tested and tried as they face
the challenges of maturing. Vanguard’s teachers direct and encourage their students as they grow in Christ.
Children accepted for enrollment are loved and given personal attention, with the goal being to make a
difference in this generation. Various means are employed to accomplish this, always with the development
of the whole child in mind. With Christ as the author of faith, Vanguard Institute purposes to give its
students the tools necessary to function in a challenging world and enable them to be a light to others in their
generation.
