OUR COLLEGE

In the footsteps of our patron, Saint Teresa of Avila, our students go into the world as true daughters of the Church and find their niche in a diverse range of careers and vocations in all corners of the globe.
Avila is renowned for its commitment to developing articulate and assertive young women capable of achieving their goals.

Through its visionary and holistic approach to education, the Avila College provides students with a diverse range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities to challenge and prepare them as engaged young women and decision-makers of the 21st century. Avila College takes an innovative approach which takes many forms from access to leading-edge technology to opportunities to be involved in social justice action groups.
