Vanguard IB Parent Testimonial:
I can't say enough about how much impact the IB program has had on Anna. She has blossomed into an amazing young woman, and her horizons have been expanded beyond our wildest dreams mainly because of the encouragement and inspiration of the teachers and general philosophy of the IB program.
She has challenged herself, and has been challenged by some of the finest teachers I have ever had the pleasure to deal with - and I am in the education system. Her teachers truly care about her educational experience, they are looking at the WHOLE student, not just the math grade, or literature grade, or science grade ...
Our family loves and appreciates that the IB students are also called to embrace a service component. It helps them see that there is so much more in the world outside of their own four walls.
I highly recommend the IB program at Vanguard for any family that wants their student to be well-rounded, challenged, inspired, loved, and successful!
~ Susan Mitchell
"Thank you so much for the field trip we had today!
It was honestly one of the best field trips I have ever been on
and one of the best events I have experienced, so far, in life!
It was very beautiful and fun as well as informative!"
~ Kylie K. ~ Pre-IB World History student ~ St. Augustine ~
Congratulations to these five fine young men!
We Help Two + Socktober 2019
The young lady pictured above is Angel. She is six years old, loves to sing, has a pet rabbit, and lives in Uganda. During the month of October, we are selling funky socks so her school tuition, uniform, and daily breakfast and lunch can be paid for.
Join us for our fourth annual CAS project through We Help Two and Vanguard IB Socktober 2019! You can get your socks from a Socktober Team Member on campus for only $10 a pack, or you can order below online for only $12 a pack. And as an added bonus, for every pack of funky socks sold, we receive a pair of thick, warm socks to donate here in Marion County.
See ALL of the styles and sizes at the link below, and contact Mrs. DeVilling for more information.

We Help Two+Socktober 2017 Success:
Philip from Kenya Richmond from Ghana
During the 2017-2018 school year, Vanguard IB had the opportunity to help these two young men receive artificial limbs thanks to our partnership with We Help Two and our annual Socktober event. These two young men's lives have been changed forever! We were also able to donate close to 100 pairs of warm socks to the ICU at Shands Hospital in Gainesville. THANK YOU to everyone who purchased socks back in October 2017 and helped us reach our goal. We look forward to hosting this CAS project again this coming fall and to having another successful Socktober event!
