The Avon Old Farms School was founded in 1927 by one of the first female architects in America: Theodate Pope Riddle. The boys-only private boarding school operated for several years before it closed down for a period of time during World War II so that the building can be used as a place of recovery for blind veterans.
The school, which sits on 900 acres of land, is up and running today and is one of the most prominent college prep boys’ school in the state. While in Avon, explore the unique campus, take in the stunning natural beauty that surrounds it, and get a better understanding of the traditional values that are instilled on the campus.
