VISION & MISSION

Avalon Country Academy is committed to the development of young children (5 to 14 years old) through holistic projects to ensure they reach potential.
To create a space where children are encouraged to be children — to dream, to build, make noise, run, laugh and just be kids.
To learn the way nature intended us to - through play!

Our learning facility provides a healthy and nurturing environment for children to explore their own potential and develop their unique abilities, in preparation for an unknown future world in which they will function and thrive.

“Who is most adapted to a world of social uncertainty, technological change, and constantly shifting habits and behaviors? Above all others today, it may be kids. Childhood is a continual negotiation with, and re-perception of, the bounds of reality. Learning, new experience, and physical transformation is the norm, not the exception, for kids.

With touchscreens, simple programming languages, and other lowered barriers for human-computer interaction, kids are poised to gain a high level of technical proficiency. When you combine this access with the resources kids have — time, a highly plastic brain, and the freedom to experiment with new ways of being - it is not hard to imagine a level of empowerment for kids never before seen in human history.” - Jake Dunagan, Institute for the Future (IFTF)

“In order to develop foresight, you have to practice hindsight. Technologies, cultures, climates may change, but our basic human needs and desires, to survive, to care for our families, to lead happy purposeful lives, these all remain the same.” – Jane McGonical.
