​LOWER SCHOOL (grades 3-5)

Students in Avalon's lower school are introduced to nature, literature, drawing and sports by teachers serving as enthusiastic role models who are well-versed in the rich heritage of the humanities. The traditional rigors of mathematics and grammar form the counterbalance to varied and frequent adventure trips that afford small classes an opportunity to explore their world.
