Get to know us
The Deans Program
The deans are full-time advisors, mentors, and advocates who focus on students’ social-emotional well-being and academic success. At Avenues, the deans provide individualized support for students in grades 6-12 as they make the transition from childhood to young adulthood and help prepare them for their own unique future—whether that’s counseling them through the college process or readying them for another path. Deans also work closely with faculty and act as the point person between the school and a student’s family.
Brazilian program
Avenues São Paulo combines a global perspective with a local focus rigorously upholding Brazilian and international educational standards. By integrating key elements of the Brazilian national curriculum into the Avenues program, we honor and incorporate our local context, ensuring that students are prepared to thrive in Brazil and beyond.
Athletics
In our mission statement, we pledge to graduate students who are “emotionally unafraid and physically fit,” and our approach to physical education reflects that holistic commitment to body and mind. Whether through Wellness and Movement, our signature health and physical education program, or competitive team sports that start in 6th grade, Avenues students are supported to pursue excellence and develop the habits that lead to lifelong mental and physical health.
Small World | Our program for 18 months to 2 years old
Small World is our learning program for children aged between 18 months and 2 years old. As a first school experience, Small World is designed to ignite curiosity, stimulate creativity, and sow the seeds of multilingualism with daily exposure to English. Small World lays the foundation for school readiness by developing important skills including independence, flexibility, and self-regulation; students also learn how to take care of their classroom environment and one another.
Play-based Learning
Play is the medium through which students learn about themselves and the world, and at Avenues, it is prioritized as a key to child development and a central learning experience of the early years. Avenues’ early childhood curriculum is designed to promote competency and the mastery of developmental skills through a variety of multi-sensory experiences, using open-ended materials that ignite children’s imaginations.
Language and Literacy
At Avenues, languages are more than an academic pursuit; they are a daily practice that transforms the way students see and think about our multicultural world. Through our language program, our students become fluent readers and writers as they acquire foundational skills and engage in their project journeys in authentic and meaningful ways. English is the primary instructional language at Avenues São Paulo. As we aim to graduate students who are “at ease beyond their borders”— we consider second language acquisition to be a core part of our mission.
Institute for Advanced Mathematics
The Avenues Institute for Advanced Mathematics provides a rigorous and highly demanding mathematics curriculum beyond the level of any advanced math class currently taught at Avenues. As such, the Institute replaces a student’s regular math classes. Students will learn from a combination of independent research, peer group discussion, hands-on projects and the constant construction of mathematical models.
AIAM courses follow the chronological timeline of mathematical progress, guiding students through the sequence of innovations and discoveries that inspired generations of mathematicians. By understanding the challenges faced by great mathematicians during their, sometimes, lifelong quests for solutions, new theorems, or algorithms, students gain insight into the iterative nature of mathematical progress.
