Avenues
Silicon Valley
At Avenues Silicon Valley, students benefit from an innovative, world-focused curriculum while finding their place within a warm, nurturing and locally-rooted community.
As the first step in our gradual expansion plan, in fall 2022 we launched our founding class program. In fall 2023, the program expanded to include grades 4–10. In fall 2024, we plan to grow by welcoming grades 3–11 and moving to our permanent campus in the midtown neighborhood of San Jose. In the 2025–26 school year, we will graduate our first class of 12th grade students.

Interdisciplinary Studies
The foundation of an Avenues education is interdisciplinary studies—a robust project-based course co-taught by two faculty members, one specializing in STEAM and the other in World (humanities and social sciences). Students complete interdisciplinary projects that integrate coursework in English, history, science, and art & design. Curated texts complement projects and provide frameworks for engaging critically with global topics, local issues and year-long themes.
A global curriculum for a world school
What do Avenues students learn? The Avenues World Elements table is our answer to that question. Designed by our research and development team, the Avenues World Elements is a global curricular system that defines the learning outcomes of Avenues students at all grade levels, at all our campuses.
