About Avenues

Begin by thinking of Avenues New York, Avenues São Paulo, Avenues Shenzhen, Avenues Silicon Valley, Avenues Online, Avenues London. Avenues is one school with many campuses, providing transformative, world-focused learning experiences to students around the globe. Avenues prepares students for engaged global citizenship during a time of unprecedented complexity and accelerating change, combining a global curriculum based on language immersion and interdisciplinary learning with a culture of creativity and deep collaboration.

 

Avenues Online

Available anywhere in the world with a wifi connection, Avenues Online was intentionally designed to foster deep, innovative learning with maximum flexibility. With its interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum especially written for both synchronous and asynchronous learning, its own proprietary learning platform, and an outstanding, collaborative global faculty, Avenues Online is establishing a new standard in online education. Our students reside in over 20 countries and bring their diverse cultural and geographic context and global mobility to their learning each day. From early childhood through 12th grade, our students learn online in order to be offline, applying their learning to their local contexts throughout the world. As at every Avenues campus, students are challenged to take ownership of their learning from a young age and to develop the critical and creative thinking skills necessary to understand and solve global-scale problems.

 

The Opportunity

Math teachers at Avenues ensure that students act as mathematicians every day. In grades 6-12, Avenues embraces a problem-based mathematics pedagogy and curriculum. Students complete a weekly math notebook through which they attempt solutions, ask questions, receive feedback, iterate, and reflect on mistakes to gradually master mathematical concepts. Teachers facilitate discourse during lab sessions and tutorials; they inspire students to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematics and a mathematical voice of their own.
