“Western Affection” by Alyssa Jimeson

     Alyssa Jimeson, a Vanguard sophomore this year, has proven herself to
     be a talented and driven art student throughout her years at The
     Vanguard School. During her time at Vanguard, she has won numerous
     awards for her art, including a silver national medal in the Scholastic
     Art and Writing Competition two years ago.

     Last year, she created the cover art, “Western Affection,” with chalk
     pastels. Her remarkable attention to detail makes her work as an artist
     something to look forward to over the next few years at Vanguard.

                                                 -Greg Custer / Vanguard Art Instructor

The Vanguard School is a tuition-free, K-12 charter school with
a classically based, college-preparatory curriculum designed to
develop academic excellence, virtue, and leadership.

Colin Mullaney

                     Dear friends and families of The Vanguard School,

                      School is up and running, and we are already in the
                      middle of September! At the beginning of the year, we
                      held Back to School Nights, allowing us to reconnect
                      with parents and explain our mission and approach. As
                      discussed during these events and featured last year, we
  have made some improvements in our approach this year in order to better
  achieve our mission. The changes center around more fully incorporating
  a classical education into our overall program with improvements made
  across all grade levels. It is important that all of our students and families
  come to understand what we are about and how what is happening at each
  level fits into the whole program and moves toward the larger goal.

  Our goal for all students is that they graduate from The Vanguard School
  prepared for whatever moral or intellectual challenges they will face upon
  graduation. Each step along that process is important.

  Our lower elementary is the foundation of our program. It is here that
  students learn the basics of how to be a student and how to act as a
  contributing member of a classroom. They learn the critical skill of
  reading as well as writing in cursive, solving arithmetic problems, and
  diving into the basics of science, history, and literature. These
  foundational skills are vital for students as they advance into the upper
  elementary, junior high, and high school, and learn all aspects of a
  classical education.

  As students complete the lower elementary, they progress according to the
  Classical Trivium, the progressive study of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

  Upper elementary students learn the first stage of the Trivium, grammar.
  At this stage of their education, they learn how to construct language.
  Students at this age are adept at learning and applying rules and are
  particularly capable of remembering a huge number of words and ideas,
  which will be necessary material for later use. There are some key ways in
  which we are adjusting our program in support of this. At our upper
  elementary this year, we have expanded Latin instruction down to fourth
  grade. Not only is the Latin language at the core of Western Civilization,
The Vanguard Voice - The Vanguard School
the study of Latin develops critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Additionally, it strongly enhances English vocabulary and supports
understanding of English grammar. On top of this and surprising to parents
who have not studied Latin, students enjoy it, and it makes them feel smart.
We have also adjusted our reading program to evolve into the study of
literature beginning in fourth grade. Students read the works of masters
and learn from the moral and academic content of the story.

As students move into junior high, they engage with the logic stage of the
Trivium. They learn to order facts in a way that makes sense. They learn
to critically examine their own and others’ thinking to make analytical
connections and to make determinations regarding what is true and what is
false. Some areas in which this is highlighted include learning to order
thoughts to write a thesis paper and in the practice of writing and testing
hypotheses using the scientific method. Also, while Latin has been an
elective option for several years, beginning this year every seventh-grade
student will begin Latin instruction. Ultimately all students will take Latin
from fourth grade through ninth grade, and further if desired.

As our students move into high school, they put the knowledge base of
upper elementary together with the logic of junior high in order to present
material in a way that effectively instructs or persuades others. This is the
rhetoric stage of the Trivium and is demonstrated through more advanced
writing, presentations, seminar style discussions, and culminates in
students’ senior capstone project on living “the Good Life.”

Ultimately the goal of a classical education is to develop habits of wisdom
and virtue in order to learn to live well, to live the good life. This wisdom
cannot be given, it must be earned; it doesn’t come overnight, it takes many
years to acquire and, in fact, must be continually pursued over the course of
a lifetime. However, with consistent effort in an aligned and coherent
program with the goal of developing character and academic potential,
students with the support of parents and teachers can begin this journey
well. In doing so, they will be prepared for the challenges of life and learn
to love the pursuit of excellence as much as its achievement.

                                            Go Coursers!

Vanguard Summers
Opportunities Abound for Vanguard Students

While many consider June and
July to be months reserved sole-
ly for pools, relaxation, and
closed school books, the sum-
mer of 2017 had Vanguard’s
hallways teeming with students
participating in a variety of aca-
demic courses, enrichment pro-
grams, and athletic camps.

Keisha Davis and Kevin Dick,
our Summer Semester Program
Coordinators, were pleased that
this year’s program had the big-
gest participation rate ever! In
addition to traditional summer
school courses such as math
and reading, students this sum-
mer had the opportunity to at-
tend sports camps such as cross
country and cheerleading,
STEM enrichment programs,
drama camps, and a variety of
other course selections.

At the elementary level, stu-
dents had the opportunity to not
only build upon their reading
and math skills, but also to at-
tend Camp Invention and Lego
Camp, both of which were fun,
educational opportunities not
only for our students, but for
others in the community and
city, too!

High School Retreat 2017
A Meaningful Tradition Continues

The annual high school retreat has
one main goal every year: create a
sense of unity and belonging
amongst our 9-12 students and
staff members. That one goal, as
daunting as it might sound, was
accomplished during the first three
days of the school year at the Pon-
derosa Camp and Conference Cen-
ter in Larkspur, Colorado.             first day our K-8 students were

A Place to Call Their Own
Vanguard’s New Junior High Dome Opens

high dome opened its doors to
smiling, excited students on Sep-

2017-2018 school year, the dome’s
availability was altered due to
weather delays that impacted an
already tight schedule. Spirits
weren’t dampened, however, be-

                                                Caitlyn Mlodzik, Senior

As a child, Caitlyn Mlodzik’s love
for animals inspired her to become
a veterinarian; however, during her
junior high years at Vanguard, her
passion shifted, and her interest in
writing developed as she began
writing short stories. After reading
Lord of The Flies, Mr. Schwab’s
choral ode assignment sparked
Caitlyn to write “The Death of Si-
mon” as a tribute to the character
Simon in the book.

Caitlyn’s years at Vanguard have
been busy with music, academics,
