I spent time throughout my senior year designing and building a small cabin for my Senior Project. I spent over 300 hours on this project.

Testimonials

Avalon encourages students who are committed to learning to meet and exceed their goals. For example, I graduated with almost 50 credits at the end of my senior year. I frequently exceeded my goals on the time I spent working on my learning through projects.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

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

Alumn

Survey, 2023

My advisors encouraged me to actively engage in the political process rather than sit on the sidelines just because I was too young to vote. As a result, I spent part of my sophomore year working on a political campaign with another student and utilized that volunteer experience towards meeting civic & government standards. One of the candidates we helped to elect won by only a small handful of votes. Avalon empowered us to get involved with our community and helped us to be the change we wanted to see in the world.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

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.
