Avenues
New York

Avenues is a 16-grade independent school located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

Since opening in 2012, Avenues has grown to more than 1,900 students and has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

We are driven to be an innovative learning community, anchored by a mission to develop students to be “architects of lives that transcend the ordinary.”

Avenues' curriculum, guided by the World Elements framework, integrates rigorous academics with real-world experiences, preparing students to navigate an increasingly interconnected globe with empathy and understanding.

In the Avenues language immersion program, students from 12-month-old to 5th grade study in either Mandarin or Spanish, building fluency in a world language.

Avenues' graduates are studying at a distinctive array of colleges and universities around the world, including the University of Chicago, Harvard, New York University, the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford.

“A student once described Avenues to me as having ‘a real spirit of adventure.’ I loved that. I would add that there’s a kind of fearlessness here about being on that educational adventure. The school has heft and warmth, depth and joy, and our heads are up, looking out at the endlessly complicated world in front of us.”
