The Vanguard School (Pennsylvania)

The Vanguard School provides comprehensive special education and related clinical services that are focused on ensuring the readiness for life of individual students.

Related clinical services include speech-language, occupational and physical therapies, school psychology, counseling, behavior support, and nursing.

All therapists and specialists can be actively involved in the student's entire day; clinicians co-treat across disciplines and consult with teachers and other professionals regularly.

SLI classrooms are language-rich environments that offer a combination of 1:1 and small-group instruction designed to support the intense language needs of the students.

As part of The Vanguard School, students aged eighteen to twenty-one receive continuing education, counseling, self-advocacy training, career exploration, and community-based vocational experiences.

The Vocational Immersion Program (VIP) equips young adults with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder and related social challenges, aged eighteen to twenty-four, with critical social and employment-readiness skills through a four-week intensive program that includes classroom-based instruction, online learning, workplace internships with job coaches and a week-long supported living experience.
