Avenues New York and Avenues São Paulo join the Nord Anglia Education family of international schools. The two Avenues schools have exceptional reputations for teaching and learning innovation, with students graduating as accomplished, global citizens.
Avenues and Nord Anglia share a common vision to shape future generations of confident, resilient, and creative global citizens who will sustainably change the world for the better. Avenues’ strong education offering includes its innovative and rigorous curricular system, the Avenues World Elements, which is underpinned by interdisciplinary, inquiry and project-based learning. Graduates from both schools gain acceptance into the world’s top colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Universidade de São Paulo and more.
Andrew Fitzmaurice, Chief Executive Officer of Nord Anglia Education, said: “Over the past 20 years, we’ve welcomed many of the world’s leading private schools into our family. The Avenues schools in New York and São Paulo are world-renowned for the outstanding global education they offer and the opportunities this creates for their students. It’s a source of great pride that these two prestigious schools have chosen to become part of Nord Anglia’s global network of international schools.”
"I've known and admired Nord Anglia for many years now and trust that they will be good stewards of both Avenues New York and Avenues Sao Paulo," said Jeff Clark, Avenues’ President. "I'm also incredibly proud of what our team has built over the past 12 years, and our collective success in establishing Avenues as the preeminent schools in the world. As we enter this new chapter in the Avenues story, I am confident that our campus leaders, faculty, and staff, supported by Nord Anglia's global network, will continue to provide students with the transformative world-focused learning experience that Avenues is known for."
While Avenues New York and Avenues São Paulo join the Nord Anglia Education family of schools, Avenues Shenzhen, Avenues Silicon Valley, and Avenues Online remain under existing management.
