ACADEMICS: Our REAL (Relational, Experiential, Active, and Lifelong) Learning program propels boys to learn strategically how the male mind works best. ARTS: Our art program has won more awards than any other school in the state and our Director of Arts was named the Connecticut Teacher of the Year!

In the classroom, in the art studio, on the athletic fields, AND IN LIFE ...Avon inspires excellence.
