    AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL AVON, CONNECTICUT HEAD OF SCHOOL POSITION START DATE: JULY 1, 2019 www.avonoldfarms.com Mission Avon Old Farms School strives to be the best college preparatory school for boys by cultivating young men of integrity who honor wisdom, justice, inclusion, service, and the pursuit of truth. OVERVIEW Avon Old Farms School, an independent boarding school for boys in grades 9-12, seeks a Headmaster who will embrace the school’s mission of educating young men and exemplify the school’s core values. In a spirited community of learners, Avon offers students unwavering support and fraternal bonds that last a lifetime. The school strives to be the top college prep boys boarding school in the country, inspiring boys and helping them along the road to self-discovery, independence, and manhood. The school knows and understands boys and has created an educational and social environment where boys can thrive, learn, and explore in an atmosphere of brotherhood. The school’s founder, Theodate Pope Riddle, one of America’s first licensed female architects, designed the school and its early curriculum and approach to learning. Her personal fortitude and educational vision in 1927 created the groundwork for an institution that continues to challenge boys in the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement. In January, Ken LaRocque announced his retirement, effective at the end of the 2019 school year, representing 38 years at the school, 21 of them as Headmaster. The Board of Directors, together with a Search Committee, is seeking a new Headmaster who will be responsible for leading Avon as it continues its mission of leading boys on the journey to becoming men.

  • Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year
    Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year { 2010-11 } Mission Statement Avon Old Farms School strives to be the best school for boys by cultivating young men of integrity who honor wisdom, justice, service, and the pursuit of truth. We promote intellectual, creative, and emotional growth in our students by providing a structured, supportive learning environment that encourages self-discovery and social responsibility. % Our core values are central to fulfilling our mission. On pages 37 and 38 we list and define these values. Each year we focus on one of our core values and strive to incorporate it into many of the programs we present. This year we are going to focus on the value of civility and hope to improve the quality of life on campus by promoting this value throughout our community. Civility is treating others with respect and valuing them. In the classroom, on the playing fields, and in all areas of residential life, members of the Avon community are expected to interact with each other respectfully. Because of the close community living that we experience at Avon, we will, on occasion, find ourselves in situations where conflicts arise. In the spirit of civility, these conflicts must be resolved without resorting to physical or verbal outbursts. In truly valuing the opinion of others, we will find emotional balance and civil resolutions to our conflicts. The Golden Rule, which advises us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” has for centuries provided us with wise insight into the essence of civility.
