“My grandson entered Avalon School at the beginning of 8th grade. I was specifically looking for a small school with small class sizes, a staff committed to strong family/school communication, a school culture that was supportive of non-traditional learners and that strives to be age and developmentally appropriate for adolescents. Amazingly enough, Avalon has delivered in all of those areas. The structure of the school day and curriculum makes sense for adolescents, the staff are extremely supportive and communicative (even on a daily basis if needed!), and the school culture promotes acceptance of each unique child and has high expectations while exhibiting patience as students grow into those expectations. Avalon has my highest recommendation. I am completely grateful for the charter school system and for Avalon. They are truly a role model for what charter schools are all about – creating an academic choice for families whose students are not well served in the traditional school system. Go Avalon! Sincerely, Amy Libman”
