Mission Statement
Avalon School prepares students for college and life in a strong, nurturing community that inspires active learning, engaged citizenship, and hope for the future. AVALON combines (1) a college-prep focus, (2) interdisciplinary seminars, (3) project–based learning, and (4) a technology component. This will be complemented by extensive training in ethics, conflict resolution, interpersonal/life skills, and active citizenship and community service.
About This Cause
At AVALON, middle school and high school are viewed not just as a time for preparing for college or a vocation, but as a vital and important component in each student’s life. Students must be meaningfully engaged in every class, project and endeavor in a quality way. AVALON will: Create a content–rich curriculum with a global emphasis, stressing depth over breadth and drawing upon the passions and interests of its students. Build a school culture and set of core values centered on excellence and active citizenship. Focus on developing interpersonal, communication and learning skills to complement academic achievement. Draw upon the greater non–teacher community for mentors to help students identify their intellectual passions, develop their individual learning styles, teach real–life skills, offer apprenticeship opportunities, and pinpoint potential contributions to their community. Develop international and cross–cultural awareness and cooperation. This may include exchanges, correspondence and partnerships with schools in other countries, potentially including high schools abroad that share this focus. Develop leadership opportunities for all participants. All members of the school community will be involved in decision–making, and students will be given a real voice and stake in the school.
