"We Highly Recommend the Online Program"
"As parents, we were extremely pleased with the quality of instruction and the uncompromising course rigor of the program. We highly recommend the [online] program to students looking to advance a level in their coursework or simply strengthen their basics in a specific area."
Sathya and Gita Motupally, P’21, ’24
"The three summer courses that I have taken have been great learning experiences. The teachers are always willing to help out and they prepare well-thought-out courses that go through the material at a rapid pace. The classes promote a lot of self-study, which prepares you for college classes. They also build the foundation you need for your AP courses. I have been well prepared for all of the courses that I have taken after a summer course. It is well worth your time and money."

AOF ONLINE COURSES OFFERED
Eight-Week Credit Courses
Since the eight week credit classes (same syllabus as the classes offered during the school year) will be covering a year’s worth of work in a eight-week class, students are expected to put in approximately three hours per day watching videos and working on assignments. Please refer to the calendar on the right of this page for further information regarding important dates.
Grading is based on weekly assignments and summative exams. Please refer to the FAQ section above for further information. Successful completion will result in a student receiving credit for the course, and it will show up on his Avon Old Farms transcript. Course completion certificates are available for students outside AOF who are seeking credit.
Eight-Week Preview Courses
We will also be offering eight-week courses that preview the full-year. These courses will follow the full-year credit curriculum without requiring graded performance. The purpose of these courses is to help students prepare for an upcoming class in the fall. As with the credit classes, students will complete weekly assignments and take a mid-term and final exam. For the preview courses, students are expected to put in approximately two hours per day watching videos and working on assignments.
Four-Week Credit/Preview Courses
The four week credit and preview courses are designed to provide intensive instruction in certain specific areas of study that support or augment the course work in a year-long course. Like the eight-week courses, there will be weekly problem sets with 2-3 hours of daily asynchronous work of video watching and practice necessary to complete the sets. At the end of the four weeks, there will be a final exam. These are half credit (.5) courses that will appear on the student’s transcript if the course is taken for credit.

Spring Break SAT Prep
New for 2024, we now offer 10-day intensive SAT Preparation courses. These include a blend of self-paced learning modules and live interactive sessions to foster a comprehensive understanding of the new digital SAT. In addition to the essential test-taking skills and strategies required for the new digital format, instructors will also offer subject-specific lessons tailored to the content of the new Mathematics and Reading and Writing modules.
Most learning will take place asynchronously, plus two required live sessions led by expert AOF faculty. Students will also have one mandatory meeting with their teachers during Intersession to review their results and make personalized plans for future test prep. Teachers will be available during Intersession for additional one-on-one guidance as necessary.
We recognize that Spring Break is a busy time for many of our students and families. This course will be split into two sections, each of which lasts just 10 days. Students may join one or both sections depending on their interests and needs.
Each course is $300. Or students may take both courses for a discounted total price of $500.

Course Calendar
"Taking classes during summer break prevented me from becoming idle and allowed me to approach my studies consistently and diligently. The credit classes enabled me to advance more quickly and made my academic schedule more flexible. Participating in the Online Program prepared and enabled me to take advanced classes in areas of my interest, such as Differential Equations and AP Biology."
Wonjae Cho '25
"The online course was a great way to learn about Computer Science, while still being able to enjoy my summer to the fullest! You are able to go through the lessons at your own pace, the teacher is available several times a week for help, and you are still able to do what you wish with your summer. The flexibility let me do things such as go to camps or hang out with friends. The online classes also helped prepare me for the workload here at Avon Old Farms, and I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking about trying it!"
Teddy Hoffman '27
"[Online] courses at Avon are amazing as it allows for maximum flexibility in the classroom. Whether it be for preview or for credit, the [online] courses helped me move forward in otherwise impossible ways in the classroom and get into more advanced classes like AP Physics or AP Calc."
