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.
Win up to $1,000 for writing an excellent poem! This contest is to honor the life and work of Joseph W. McPherson (1948-2019) who loved poetry, especially its usefulness in revealing the true, the good and the beautiful. He wrote several thousand sonnets during his life on themes including history, religion, art, and natural history. He continues to inspire the mission and culture of Brookewood School and The Avalon School, including our commitment to the study and recitation of poetry.
