Learning Leading Innovating

Welcome to Vandenberg Elementary

At Vandenberg and throughout the South Redford district, we believe in sparking a love for learning from the very start. Our schools offer a warm, welcoming environment where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and every student is supported to grow.

We’re proud to offer tuition-free, full-time preschool that sets the stage for a successful academic journey. From preschool through 5th grade, our Success for All reading program provides targeted instruction tailored to each child’s needs—helping students build strong literacy skills and confidence.

Our Next Generation Classrooms bring learning to life with flexible spaces that support hands-on projects, small group work, and personalized learning. Every student has access to Chromebooks and cutting-edge tools like 3D printers, makerspaces, and robotics, giving them early exposure to real-world problem solving and STEM exploration.

In South Redford, we don’t just teach lessons—we create experiences. Our teachers care deeply about their students, our classrooms buzz with energy and excitement, and our community works together to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Come see what makes South Redford a great place to learn and grow!
