WHY CHOOSE

our school?

Selecting the perfect school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and we’re honoured that Avanti Brook is on your list. Here, we’ve reimagined education to ensure every step of your journey with us—starting from admissions—is welcoming, supportive, and open.

Avanti exists to help each person become a well-rounded human being through intellectual, moral and spiritual growth, and so make the world a better place.

Our unique ethos emphasises each individual’s wellbeing and good mental health. Children with higher levels of emotional, behavioural, social, and school wellbeing, on average, have higher levels of academic achievement and are more engaged in the school community.

We have a dedicated approach to wellbeing, from providing yoga and mindfulness sessions, sports and exercise, charity work, and working with parents and carers as co-educators.
