Avenues@HOME

In-person early childhood and elementary education for toddlers through 5th grade

GREAT WORKS

Intensive reading + extensive making

In our Great Works core curriculum, students read carefully paired texts from the humanities and sciences while completing highly engaging projects linked to year-long themes. Teachers challenge students to apply ideas from their weekly readings to real-world problems and execute projects that require research, experimentation, and making. The program’s title refers not only to the texts students read, but to the great works they produce.

MATH INQUIRY

Discussion- and problem-based math at a virtual round table

Based on the premise that learning mathematics is an active, participatory enterprise, the Math Inquiry program replicates the discussion-based mathematics taught at our brick-and-mortar campuses. The curriculum is based on materials created by Phillips Exeter Academy, adapted for our unique online interface to create authentic learning experiences in mathematics.

GLOBAL PASSPORT

Broad-based competency in multiple world languages

The Global Passport curriculum focuses on task-based language learning and enables students to choose from over 40 languages of study--from Mandarin to Malay, from Spanish to Swahili, from Portuguese to Punjabi.

MIND & BODY

Live and interactive training and conditioning sessions

In partnership with LIFT Session, students develop their strength, endurance and flexibility in live interactive exercise sessions run by world-class fitness coaches. Sessions are 30-minutes and require no special exercise equipment. With choices such as yoga, high intensity interval training, cardio blast and metabolic conditioning, we nurture healthy bodies as well as healthy minds.

THE AVENUES GLOBAL COMMUNITY

Combine online and offline learning experiences at Avenues’ brick-and-mortar campuses

Avenues’ global admissions policy means that a student admitted to one Avenues campus is admitted to all. Online students regularly plan to spend time at one or more of our brick-and-mortar locations in New York, Sao Paulo, and Shenzhen.
