The AVS Philosophy
Community & Democracy
Graduation
“When I came here, I was painfully perfectionistic. I was addicted to compliments and reassurance. It wasn’t healthy. I wasn’t growing. Here, people respond to you as a good person if they see you are responsible or kind or have integrity. I went from being a student whose sense of self-worth came totally from other people to a more whole and creative person whose sense of self comes from within.”
