Get to Know Our Middle School

Our middle school campus, affectionately known as Avis, is a place where innovation, joy, and connection are experienced every day by students and adults. Students engage in rich learning experiences that have positive impact on the world around them.

Welcome to Avis

At Avis, our teachers understand and love middle school students. They love them for who they are, and have a deep understanding of the ever-changing landscape of this developmental stage whether it’s changing bodies, new emotions, evolving friendships, identity curiosity, and more.

Our faculty build authentic relationships with each individual student so that every student can thrive. Whether it’s helping students develop academic strengths, practice a growth mindset to stretch beyond what they think they’re capable of, or navigate a conflict with a friend, our teachers are here for your children.
