HISD's Vanguard magnet programs serve students who have been identified as gifted and/or talented in intellectual ability or creativity. Vanguard curricula are both accelerated, continually rigorous, and enriched with a foreign language each year throughout a student's academic life.

The Askew Vanguard Program, for grades K- 5, is part of HISD’s Magnet School Choice System. The overall goals of the Askew Vanguard program are to provide gifted students additional opportunities for developing their exceptional talent and pursuing their special interests within an environment that promotes divergent, creative, and critical thinking and reasoning skills.
