Project-Based Learning

Project Showcase
Woodburning

Woodburning

I have been working on woodburning for a year and making this board for our Student of the Block display was a chance to try my skills on a bigger scale than I had done in the past. It is entirely wood burned and it took as many hours as a grade level project. I’m hopefully going to pain a boarder on some 2x4s to add a bit of color but that will be another project.

Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

My presentation showcases my final drawing portfolio. It is a selection from all of the architecture, sculpture, and portrait drawings that I have completed in the last year.

Powwow Dancing

Powwow Dancing

My project examines and explores the different types of Powwow dancing as well as taking a closer look at Native traditions. I present multiple types of dancing, the history and differences of each dance.

Testimonials

The inclusivity, the overall approach to learning, the staff is incredible.. I could go on and on.

Families

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 love the small size and the limited amount of stressful transitions year-to-year (keeping the same advisor throughout middle school, high school; being in the same building for 6-12). I love that both of our children have the opportunity to explore their interests and to love learning again. Most of all, I love that both of my children are seen and valued for who they are and are treated as whole complex people.

Families

Survey, 2023

I love the SPED services, the project-based learning is awesome, I love how invested the teachers are, and the diversity of the community
