Private High School
The Vanguard College Preparatory School motto – Small School – Big Education – reflects the distinction that Vanguard is the place where children thrive! The breadth and depth of the opportunities offered to their students from Grade 6 through Grade 12 make Vanguard unique. This is a non-parochial, independent school in Waco, Texas that prepares our students for academic success and fulfilling lives.
Valor Preparatory offers a classical education that includes studies in classical literature, philosophy, history, and Latin. Built around the trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—their curriculum aims to cultivate wisdom and virtue. They emphasize Socratic dialogue, critical thinking, and ethical character, all framed within a Christian worldview.
Live Oak Classical School strives to equip students to love God with all their hearts, souls, and minds. We draw on the classical tools of learning to prepare students to reason clearly, communicate effectively, and act responsibly in the world—all for the glory of God. All of their academic endeavors are paired with competitive athletics, a deep appreciation for the fine arts, and responsible use of technology to create a well-rounded curriculum.
