Welcome to Avenor College

2021 -2022

Dear parents and students,

We are happy to prepare the opening of a new school year at Avenor which we hope will take place in the best conditions for our students. We used all the experience gained during the last school year to outline the plans for the school year ahead.

We know from your feedback that the most important thing is to continue the quality education offered to our students through face-to-face learning, so we will do our best to ensure all the conditions for the development of this learning scenario.

From the information we have so far, we will be able to carry out our activity keeping the schedule and routine of our students. We remain receptive to the messages coming from the authorities and to the regulations imposed in the activity of the schools.

We took into account in our planning this official order which is applying at this moment.
