School Description
The School's motto, Duc in altum (Put out into the deep), is taken from Pope 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.
Such activities as school-wide poetry competitions, field and camping trips, interscholastic sports and House competitions, and Capture the Flag encourage healthy risk taking and build friendships, discipline and self-assurance based on deeds.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Avalon is an exceptional school. My son has attended for 3 years and I continue to be impressed by the faculty and school administration for their committment to the boys and also for their excellent communication with the parents.
