SIGNATURE PROGRAMS IN UPPER DIVISION
Advanced real-world learning
Unique to Avenues New York, our signature programs reimagine what’s possible at middle school. With programs across a range of disciplines–from math to arts to entrepreneurship–every student can pursue innovative learning in an area that interests them.
J-TERM
A “mini-term” for deep, immersive learning
J-Term is an annual opportunity for middle grades students to develop global leadership skills. Students choose from a range of unique learning experiences, from social innovation and community engagement to their own specialized studies in the arts, math or entrepreneurship.
Mastery Learning System
The Mastery Learning System is a selective course of study for students who have demonstrated the ability to work independently and who are driven to explore areas of interest in exceptional depth. Students with faculty advisement work collaboratively on complex, interdisciplinary projects and experiences.
HIGH-INTENSITY PRACTICE
Fostering core skills through persistent practice
We developed High-Intensity Practice (HIP) to train students in key thinking skills such as empathy, creativity, and abstraction. In frequent, highly focused and carefully structured sessions of writing, math, and coding, students sharpen their executive functioning and working memory.
