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.

Woodworking

Woodworking

I made several projects in the shop. My best work this year was my treasure chest and the chessboard which I use for chess club.

Becoming a Luthier

Becoming a Luthier

For my grade level project, I built a tenor ukulele. I learned how to use the necessary tools for the wood work, how to come up with the measurements, and made the construction plans to actually build the instrument completely without a kit. It took about nine months to fully finish!

Testimonials

Our son has finally become invested in his own learning... it's incredible!

Parent

Family Survey, 2023

I love the relationships I get to build with students and families over time - it is so rewarding to see such growth!

Advisor

Family Survey, 2023

We absolutely love Avalon and it has been a wonderful experience for my kiddo. They love the teachers and interesting topics they get to learn about, we both love the wonderful support they receive for their special education needs, they appreciate the inclusive culture of the whole school and have a great group of friends, and they have enjoyed engaging in extra curricular activities such as after school credit make up, ultimate frisbee, and robotics.

Family Survey, 2023

The small size allows for a lot of personal connection with and support from staff and for our son to have developed a solid group of friends, which he didn't have in his old school. I like the way academics are explored and how students are encouraged to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own learning to a good extent. The school feels like a real community, involving families in the school culture.
