YOur school... your home

Students are housed in the following buildings:

Boarding School FAQs
- Is it true there is little to no free time each day for my student to relax and just hang out with their friends?
- As a parent, will I have the opportunity to be involved with my child’s education and community, even if they are far away?
- What channels of communication exist at boarding schools if my child needs to speak with someone confidentially about an issue with a teacher or fellow student?
- Will boarding school prepare my child for real life – to face challenges and have a successful career?
- Do all students who go to Avon go on to attend college?
- My son is a great kid, but hasn’t applied himself in school. I know he could be successful if he just had the right environment that would challenge and support him. What’s the advantage of an all-boys boarding school?
