VFES staff take a collaborative and holistic approach to each child and adult, recognizing their unique abilities and needs through dedicated teams. Individuals, ages 4-24, come to learn, share, appreciate and respect one another while developing skills necessary to lead successful lives. VFES is committed to helping students and participants develop a strong sense of self-worth to realize their value as contributing members of the community through its two signature programs: The Vanguard School and Adult and Recreation Services (ARS).
