Project-Based Learning

Project Showcase
Go Kart: Design & Build

Go Kart: Design & Build

I designed and built a gas powered reverse trike go-kart. To complete this project, I had to learn how to design a go-kart, find supplies, request funding, and then build it by welding, engineering, problem-solving, and finishing the metal, and finally, driving! In the end, the go-kart was able to hit a top speed of about 40mph.

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

Survey, 2023

Avalon School's project-based learning platform gave me the freedom to pursue my passion for architecture. It also taught me how to set my own academic and professional goals; and be self-driven.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

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.
