Why invest in our youth with learning difficulties:

• In Quebec, the school dropout rate is one of the highest in the country ;
• School dropout cost more than $ 1.9 billion each year to Quebec society ;
• 40% of dropouts have a learning disabilities ;
• 2/3 of high school students with learning difficulties do not graduate with a diploma (source Journal de Montréal May 10 2019 ed.) ;

Vanguard, school perseverance: Mission accomplished!

Each year, close to 150 Vanguard school students graduate with a high school diploma and the vast majority of them pursue post-secondary education despite their severe learning disabilities. These young people, who were at risk of academic failure and dropout statistics, are, today, young citizens well prepared to live their full potential.

Please help us promote school perseverance and academic success. By investing in young people with learning disabilities today, you encourage their education, fight school drop-out among them and promote the development of young, productive and fulfilled citizens for our society.
