At Avenues our reason for existing is “to educate world-wise leaders uniquely equipped to understand and solve global-scale problems.” It follows, then, that our students must be future literate–that is, equipped with the capability to navigate an increasingly complex, interconnected, and uncertain world and, in so doing, inspired to forge adaptable global paths toward sustainable, regenerative futures.

Avenues is passionate about sharing its discoveries. With the support of the American Association of South American Schools, Avenues faculty, staff and students from New York and São Paulo welcomed educators from across Brazil to a truly unique conference on authentic student engagement and project-based learning.
