Overview

For over a decade, Avalon School has pioneered two separate, powerful models of education: a Project Based Learning curriculum and a Teacher-Powered governance model. We strongly believe that these two aspects have the capacity to change education, and we are eager to share our experience.

​Avalon is now offering an array of professional development services, from short, student-led tours to longer immersive experiences. Working with the Minnesota Learner-Centered Network (MLCN), Avalon hosts several formal immersive site visits a year.  To learn about those site visits (and those offered by other Learner-Centered environments), visit the MLCN School Visit Page.
