Project-Based Learning

Building a Ukelele

For my grade level project, I built a tenor ukulele. I learned how to use the necessary tools for the wood work, how to come up with the measurements, and made the construction plans to actually build the instrument completely without a kit. It took about nine months to fully finish!

GrayMoonJewelry

Online Store

Jewelry making has always interested me. I decided to learn how to build a business, how to make it profitable enough to support itself, and how to do all of this in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly manner.

Today I have GrayMoonArts, the culmination of months of curating my collection and learning photography skills and building a website from nothing.

Realistic Art

For this project, I created a portfolio that shows my exploration of realistic art, specifically in human face structures. This includes work done through my PSEO course at St.Kate's and the work I did outside of class. The final piece was a way to bring in all I had learned.

AVALON SCHOOL

Our son has never felt this supported in a school setting before. He feels really seen, heard, and valued at Avalon. He has a wide variety of friends and opportunities through Avalon and is absolutely thriving! We can't thank the Avalon community enough for creating this kind of trusting and growth-minded community.

The advisor model is very effective. My child has forged positive, supportive relationships with their advisors which helps them be successful in all their classes. There is also a great parent community at Avalon.

Family Survey, 2023

The small size allows for a lot of personal connection with and support from staff and for our son to have developed a solid group of friends, which he didn't have in his old school. I like the way academics are explored and how students are encouraged to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own learning to a good extent. The school feels like a real community, involving families in the school culture.
