High

Avenues was founded in New York City in 2012 carrying the moniker: “The World School” by a select group of renowned educators and innovators, which included Benno Schmidt, Jr., President of Yale University and Chris Whittle who would later establish his eponymous school (Whittle School & Studios). From the outset, the school would operate as a for-profit institution that would avail of every technology and innovative methodology at its disposal to become educational change-makers. The school’s very mission is to be at the vanguard of a paradigm shift in global education. The school aims to prepare pupils for the challenges of an increasingly globalised and technologically driven world in addition to meeting the fundamentals of a college-preparatory curriculum, based on a design by Phillips Exeter Academy, arguably the most prestigious school in the United States. The school takes great pride in the calibre of its academic staff, many of whom are recruited from universities and colleges.
