Admissions

Applying to Avenues Silicon Valley

Global Admissions

A student admitted to one campus is admitted to all of our campuses: New York, São Paulo, Shenzhen, Online and Silicon Valley. That means families with professional commitments in China, Brazil or anywhere else in the world can provide their children with an Avenues education. In addition, Avenues students everywhere benefit from frequent collaboration with their peers in other countries, as well as opportunities to join Global Journeys programs and campus exchanges around the world.

Campus Flex

The Campus Flex program is currently offered for students in grades 6–12. Campus Flex combines the world-class academics of Avenues Online with in-person engagement at Avenues Silicon Valley, enabling students to learn from anywhere at any time, while enjoying access to dynamic brick-and-mortar school experiences. Families interested in applying to Campus Flex should indicate this on the preliminary application form.

Admissions for the 2024–25 Academic Year

Regular Notification | Due January 12, 2024

Regular notification follows an admissions calendar typical of Bay Area independent schools. Preliminary application forms are due January 12, 2024, with additional steps (including parent/family conversations and student design challenges) and documents (including parent/student statements, letters of recommendation and transcripts) due by February 1. Families will be notified of their admissions decision on March 13.

Please aim to submit your preliminary application form well ahead of the deadlines. This will allow your family ample opportunity to schedule campus visits, design challenges, parent and/or family conversations, and request current school documents.

Important Dates

Admissions for the 2023-24 School Year

While our January 2023 application deadline has passed, we continue to accept late applications for any remaining seats for grades 4–10 in the 2023-24 school year, the second year of our founding class program. Please contact the admissions team (admissions-sv@avenues.org) to submit a late application.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

In our mission statement, we promise to graduate students who are at “ease beyond their borders”; that is, students who have the cultural competencies necessary to engage with, empathize with and serve in communities other than their own. Whether those borders are defined by race, culture, gender, sexuality, physical ability, socio-economic background or other measures of identity, Avenues equips its students to connect across differences and embrace access for all—both in and out of the classroom.

Avenues seeks to build a community that reflects the diversity of the community that we serve. Our team is committed to partnering with your family to understand your unique needs as you navigate the admissions process.

Tuition & Financial Aid

Avenues seeks to build a student body that reflects the diversity of the community it serves. We aim to meet the demonstrated financial need of each admitted family at time of admission. However, please note that admission to Avenues is selective and we are unfortunately unable to admit all deserving candidates given our generous but ultimately finite financial aid budget.

We encourage you to consider Avenues even if you cannot afford the full cost of tuition, as you may qualify for need-based aid. In fact, we will waive the application fee if you are applying for financial aid.
