The Avalon School is the best environment for boys to develop into confident young men and be academically and morally prepared for the challenges of the future.

Our sons entered Avalon in elementary school and the oldest graduated two years ago. He is in his second year of college and was well-prepared academically by Avalon for the selective liberal arts school he attends. More importantly, he received a rigorous classical education and formation from faculty members who are invested in the boys they teach and the school's mission.

Public schools were just not challenging him mentally or physically. We are pleased from the interview process initially to child's desired behavior current...
