The experts in raising young men
Our four pillars for an excellent education
The Avalon School believes in these necessary components to a well-lived, fun, character-building life and education for young men.
Put out into the Deep.
The School’s motto, Duc in Altum (Put out into the deep), is taken from Saint John Paul II’s Apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte. These words “invite us to remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm, and to look forward to the future with confidence.” Young men must learn that taking risks and making commitments in their daily lives–intellectually, spiritually, and physically–are necessary to grow both personally and professionally.
