SCHOOL REIMAGINED

A bold vision for global education

Since 2012, Avenues' mission is to graduate “architects of lives that transcend the ordinary.” Our proven approach prepares students to make a global impact, at college and beyond.

1 / 6

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

Preparing future worldwise leaders

Our rigorous, research-backed curriculum prepares students for lives of global leadership, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they’ll need to thrive in a fast-changing world.

2 / 6

THE PURSUIT OF PASSIONS

Fostering mastery and a love of learning

From the early years until graduation, we support students to identify and pursue their passions in-depth, encouraging them to think big and take increasing ownership of their learning.

3 / 6

A CULTURE OF INNOVATION

Constantly evolving to meet the future

Innovation is in the DNA of Avenues. Since 2012, we’ve pushed the boundaries of education by developing our own global curriculum, including research-backed signature programs unique to our campuses.

4 / 6

RIGOR REDEFINED

Learning that is deep, purposeful, and full of joy

At Avenues, rigor is not an isolated goal, but a natural outcome of the kind of learning that happens in our classrooms: sparked by curiosity, deepened by purpose, and driven by hard work.

5 / 6

BELONGING AND WELLBEING

Nurturing a vibrant and inclusive community

Everyone belongs at Avenues New York. Our warm and supportive campus community reflects the diversity of the city we call home, grounded in our values of “welcome, safety, respect.”

LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Building bilingualism and a global mindset

Avenues students don’t just learn a second language, they live it. While building fluency in either Mandarin Chinese or Spanish, students also gain the myriad other cognitive, personal, and professional benefits of bilingualism.

Meet our team

An extraordinary learning environment

Housed in a historic Cass Gilbert-designed building thoughtfully renovated to the highest standards of modern educational design, our 260,000-square-foot campus is a center of global learning in the heart of a great city.

An unparalleled setting in Manhattan

Located in the vibrant Chelsea arts neighborhood and overlooking the High Line Park, our campus embodies and reflects the dynamic creative energy of New York City. Our students benefit from frequent trips to nearby galleries and community engagement projects with our neighbors. As an extension of the classroom, Avenues leverages the authentic opportunities the city offers to explore culture, design, history, and global systems in context.

Embracing cutting-edge technology

As a future-facing school, we carefully integrate the latest educational technology in order to enhance student learning and foster 21st-century skills. We’re proud to have been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School since 2012–a designation reserved for schools with an exemplary technology-supported learning environment.

State-of-the-art-facilities

From our purpose-built Early Learning Center to our upper grades maker labs and full-size gymnasium, our facilities provide resource-rich environments to maximize student learning, creativity, and collaboration.
