I love it here at AOF. The community is so welcoming and I can say that this campus is another home. The opportunities presented to all the students makes it so every boy can find their place. My favorite part about Avon Old Farms is spending time with my brothers. Making memories in the dorm, going outside to grill and play catch, traveling on a bus with my team to play games, all of these great memories come to mind when I think about my time at Avon.

All Boys High school that caters to the way that boys learn. They emphasize brotherhood and being overall good members of the community. Small class sizes so you have great relationships with teachers.

He left Avon for an ivy league school as not only a scholar, but a leader. He made lifelong friends, learned community spirit and developed a passion for lea...
