Avalon School is an amazing place. My 3 kids graduated from Avalon in 2019,2020, and 2021. My wife and I are very pleased with the quality of our children's education. All three went on to Seminole State and UCF. Thank you, Avalon!

As an alum of Avalon School, I found the administration and teachers to be of excellent quality. They are very creative and caring. They gave me a great foundation to help me attain my academic goals at UCF.

It took us two years to get our daughter in but worth the wait. She graduated last year and is an A student at Valencia. What an amazing place for my darter to turn her life around. God bless Avalon.
