ABOUT AVENUES: THE WORLD SCHOOL

Avenues is on a mission to change the world through education. Founded in 2010 with the vision of becoming one school with many campuses, Avenues now has physical campuses in New York, São Paulo, Shenzhen, and a virtual campus, Avenues Online. Together, these campuses form one transformative, interconnected learning community preparing students to become engaged global citizens and worldwise leaders. 

AVENUES@HOME

Avenues@HOME is a bespoke new educational program offering world-class, in-person early childhood education. A family is paired with a dedicated Avenues teacher who provides in-home instruction for students from 2-years-old (Small World) through 3rd grade. Avenues@HOME uses the Avenues Online curriculum, designed from the ground up by Avenues to enable  meaningful distance learning for children of all ages.
