Admissions
Welcome to Avenues Silicon Valley, the newest campus of Avenues The World School.
At Avenues Silicon Valley, students benefit from Avenues’ innovative, world-focused curriculum while finding their place within a warm, nurturing and locally-rooted community. Having launched our founding class program in 2022, we continue to foster a school culture that emphasizes social-emotional wellbeing as the foundation for student success, and where academic achievement goes hand-in-hand with personal flourishing.
We invite you to register for an upcoming event and sign up to receive more information about Avenues Silicon Valley. We look forward to meeting you and your family this admissions season.
A few seats remain for late admission to grades 4–10 in the 2023–24 school year. Please contact the admissions team (admissions-sv@avenues.org) to apply.

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 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.
