Alumni
Greetings Avonians:
Welcome back to your school, the Village of Old Farms. In a nutshell, you should know that your school is in great shape. Boys are learning and growing in every important way—in a community whose spirit is truly unmatched in the independent school world. By way of new facilities, there have been remarkable, transformative physical changes made to the campus in the past few years. We now enjoy some amazing new buildings which, by design, do not attempt to imitate, but rather to complement our Founder’s original masterpiece and vision. Words and pictures do not suffice. One simply has to see what has happened. These changes are both exciting and vitally important to the future of Avon Old Farms.
While much has been added, the fundamentals on the important “people side” of the equation, combined with the daily routine and the School’s commitment to a traditional, structured, and supportive approach to education, remain the same. In other words: honoring tradition while forging ahead. Our mission has not changed. Avon continues to strive to be “the best school for boys” in the nation, a place where boys become men — good men.
In 2006, Avon Old Farms launched Phase II of the largest capital campaign supporting the most ambitious building program in the school’s history.
The Campaign for Avon: Honoring Tradition, Forging Ahead has yielded nearly $56 million since its inception, making possible the construction and dedication of the:
These magnificent and transformative facilities, all now completed and fully functional, were augmented by other additions:
Avon’s campaign goal is to reach $60 million by the end of 2010 and, in so doing, to complete the funding of our new facilities while also beginning to address what might be described as our school’s “Achilles Heel,” a very modest endowment.
We wish to thank all members of the Avon Old Farms School family who have participated in this great endeavor—by giving generously to the Annual Fund, by supporting our capital projects or endowment initiatives, and/or by making a planned gift. You have truly made a difference! And we urge you to continue to do so.
Aspirando et Perseverando,
