I am pleased to welcome you to Anderson Vanguard Academy!  In joining AVA, you have become part of a group who is dedicated to transforming education and enrichment opportunities.  We are delighted you have committed to fulfilling AVA’s mission to, “inspire the next generation of leaders while cultivating a love of curiosity and learning.”  We seek to establish an academically ambitious educational movement where the process and love of learning is infused into the curriculum, student independence is celebrated, and early leadership development supports overall success.

What better way to serve our students than by guiding them to discover the links between learning and leadership?  Leadership skills allow students to have control of their lives and the ability to make things happen.  Leadership encourages confidence, ownership, and collaboration.  Leadership provides opportunities for students to develop personal, emotional, academic, and social responsibility.  AVA offers a unique curriculum designed to encourage, analyze, and celebrate leadership development, all while participating in fun and meaningful enrichment activities.

I hope that your experience with Anderson Vanguard Academy will be challenging, fulfilling, and rewarding.  I hope that you find great satisfaction in your interactions with other students and staff, and that you build lasting relationships for many years to come.  I personally look forward to working with your family at Anderson Vanguard Academy!
