Testimonials

Avalon's flexible schedule allowed me to take PSEO as a sophomore, saving me so much money for my AA degree.

Inclusive community, student-led learning, amazing support of the staff

There is an incredibly supportive environment from both the fellow students and teachers

I always tell people I wouldn't have graduated on time if I hadn't gone to Avalon.

Inclusive, supportive community. Individualized approach to learning.

I really don't believe that I would have received this kind of guidance and attention if I were in a traditional classroom setting, because it's not set up for individualized teaching. I feel that this kind of guidance helped me learn resilience and professional skills, as well as life skills to be able to achieve my professional and higher education goals. Whatever path I wanted to take in life, they would help guide me there, and if they noticed I was struggling or on the wrong path they were there to guide me back.

The advisor model is very effective. My child has forged positive, supportive relationships with their advisors which helps them be successful in all their classes. There is also a great parent community at Avalon.

I mostly appreciate that my student is so loved and supported by many wonderful teachers/staff there. It feels like home for her. And that she is given the opportunity to follow her interests and get credit for it.

Avalon empowered me to be a creative problem solver, and to take charge of my own learning. Having to seek out and work with outside experts on my senior project was excellent practice going into college and forced me to get out of my bubble.
