Curriculum Scaffolding at Avenues
At Avenues, every stage of learning is intentionally connected. From the Early Learning Center through the Upper Division, our curriculum is thoughtfully scaffolded to deepen understanding, spark curiosity, and challenge students to think expansively across disciplines. Guided by exceptional educators, students are nurtured and stretched individually—growing academically while developing as empathetic, confident, and globally-minded young people.
Across every grade level, students engage in a consistent foundation of signature learning experiences that adapt alongside their growth, including:
A world-focused, rigorous curriculum
Expands perspectives and cultivates globally engaged, culturally fluent thinkers.
Language Immersion
Our 50/50 research-based immersion model nurtures bilingual fluency, cultural awareness, and cognitive flexibility.
Interdisciplinary and project-based learning
That empowers students to explore ideas, solve complex problems, and deepen agency in their learning.
The Avenues Compass curriculum & SST support
A holistic approach designed to build social–emotional skills, self-regulation, executive functioning, and a strong sense of identity.
Signature programs in the Lower and Upper Divisions:
- High Intensity Practice (Grades 4–10)
- Junior Advanced Mathematics (Grades 4–5)
- Avenues Institute of Advanced Mathematics (Grades 6–12)
- Avenues Institute for the Advanced Study of Ethics and the Common Good (Grades 10–12)
