The Avanti Institute
A Quest for Discovery
We exist to create a culture where every teacher believes they need to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better.
We want all Avanti staff to feel empowered and excited to pursue their aspirations and improve at every opportunity. We believe that high quality professional development for teachers, leaders and support staff has the great potential to improve the quality of education for all our students.
