Bringing 20+ Years of Research to Schools
Avela was founded to solve one of the most persistent challenges in education: making enrollment easier, fairer, and more accessible for families and schools alike.
For two decades, our team has led research on how students are assigned to schools, how families navigate choice, and how enrollment systems can be designed for equity. Our work has influenced major school districts across the country, informed Nobel Prize-winning economic research, and shaped state and local education policies.
We launched Avela to turn proven research into practical, modern solutions that help families make informed decisions and help schools attract and enroll students seamlessly.
