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.

GLOBAL JOURNEYS

Life-changing study abroad experiences

From grades 6–12, Avenues students have the opportunity to travel the world with Global Journeys, our signature study abroad programs combining experiential learning, cultural immersion and personal growth.
