Academic Life

After School Programs

In addition to childcare for younger children, Avenues will offer a full slate of after-school programs that will enrich the experience of older students. These programs will allow students both to fine-tune skills learned during the school day and to delve deeply into extracurricular interests.

For those students who enter the school with abilities in specialized activities, Avenues will offer programs designed to cultivate those talents. Our partnership with Chelsea Piers, for instance, will allow basketball players, figure skaters, gymnasts and other specialized athletes the opportunity to receive personalized training in world-class facilities.

The Chelsea Arts Initiative will present aspiring artists with the same level of instruction and exposure to their particular craft. Students with less experience in various fields will also have the opportunity to engage their curiosity through active participation in beginner and intermediate extracurricular programs at Avenues.

Programs under consideration for implementation in the 2012-2013 school year at Avenues include:

• Sports: swimming, soccer, basketball, figure skating
• Music: violin, piano, guitar
• Arts: sculpture and ceramics, print-making, woodworking, arts and crafts
• Theater, dance
• Chess
• Fitness and nutrition, cooking
• Yoga
• Karate
• Academics: subject tutoring, homework help
• Model UN
• Writing and editing: newspaper, magazine, yearbook

Specifics will be announced in spring 2012.
