About Vanguard
The Principle Approach®
The Principle Approach® uses Biblical truths, or principles, as the foundation of every subject, students are taught to think and reason from “leading ideas”.
What is the Principle Approach®?
“The Principle Approach is America’s historic Christian method of Biblical reasoning which makes the Truths of God’s Word the basis of every subject in the school curriculum.”
—Rosalie June Slater
The Principle Approach® provides the structure of truth that frames true education. Wisdom is the key and the Principle Approach® method forms wisdom as children learn how to think and reason from a Biblical perspective in order to redirect their humanness towards God.
By regarding every individual child as a unique creation of God, endowed with His image, destined for immortality, and created with a special purpose in God’s grand design revealed when the absolute truths of God’s word are embedded into the heart, soul, and mind—the Christian idea of the child.
By requiring that all teaching and learning in every subject and in all of life be placed within the context of God’s sovereignty and superintendence—the magnificent, all-inspiring context of the Hand of God in human history— true Providential history, that begins with creation and moves through the millennia seeing the key links in the Chain of Christianity up to this very day.

The Framework of Truth
Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
Purity of language is one of the first steps in constructing God-honoring curriculum.
“Purity of mind is a Christian virtue that ought to be carefully cherished; and purity of language is one of the guards which protect this virtue.”
(Noah Webster)
