Where can a question in kindergarten lead?
For Avenues Class of 2025 alumna Sophia, all the way to scientific research at Stanford. 🔬🌿

Sophia reunited with her first science teacher, Kelli Crosby—known to generations of Avenues students as Professor Galapagos—to reflect on where her curiosity began.

From exploring the natural world in kindergarten to researching biodiversity and advocating for the environment, Sophia shares how her teachers helped nurture a love of asking questions that continues to guide her today.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 中秋节快乐！🌕🥮

Celebrated when the moon is at its fullest, Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family, togetherness, and sharing traditions. In our Early Learning Center Mandarin classrooms, teachers brought the holiday into students’ learning through stories, art, language, and food.

Students made and shared(!) mooncakes in our teaching kitchen, practiced writing the Chinese character for “moon” (月), and created crafts inspired by the celebration. These experiences gave them a chance to explore the meaning of the holiday while learning and creating together.

We’re continuing to celebrate the first weeks of school as our Early Learning Center students, from Small World through Kindergarten, complete their phase-in!

With the encouragement of their teachers, children are settling into routines in two languages, making new friends, and building their classroom communities. That’s no small feat! These first weeks lay the foundation for the year ahead, and it’s a joy to see students and faculty so excited to be together each day. 💙

Families, what’s something your child is especially excited about at school right now? Tell us in the comments!

At the beginning of each school year, students in our Mandarin and Spanish tracks take part in the annual Language Pledge, affirming their commitment to learning, speaking and growing together in their target language.

One of the most meaningful parts of this tradition is hearing from Upper Division students who once made the same pledge. They return to share reflections on their own language-learning journeys, offer advice and encourage younger students to embrace every opportunity ahead.

Back in their classrooms, students sign their pledges and place them in their cubbies—a daily reminder of the commitment they have made to themselves and to one another.

We look forward to seeing where their curiosity, courage and continued practice take them this year. What has helped you or your child grow as a language learner? Share with us below. 💬

What advice would you give your ninth-grade self❓

In late August, our 12th-grade Peer Leaders traveled to Mirror Lake Retreat Center in upstate New York for two days of team building, leadership training and meaningful connection. Joined by Head of Teaching and Learning, Mr. Odgen and Head of Student Wellbeing, Ms. Snell, they prepared for an important role: welcoming our ninth graders to the upper grades.

Throughout the year, Peer Leaders will meet with ninth graders every other week, offering guidance, encouragement and a trusted perspective as they begin their high school journey.

We’re excited to see these student leaders help our newest upper grades students feel known, supported and at home.

Share your best advice for a new ninth grader in the comments below.

Yesterday, members of our community gathered to hear firsthand reflections from Avenues New York security team members who served as NYPD officers at the time of September 11. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Millan, Mr. Orsini, Mr. Smalls, Mr. Rivera, Ms. Rosa, Mr. Michel, Mr. Dow, Mr. Gargano, Mr. Longo and Mr. Rondina for their courage, service and willingness to share their stories with our students, families and colleagues.

For today’s students, September 11 is an event known through the memories and experiences of others. We are so grateful to our community for coming together to listen, remember and reflect, to help ensure that the lives lost, and the extraordinary acts of courage and humanity shown that day, are never forgotten. 💙

What are you most excited about this school year? 🎤💙

On the first day of school for our Lower and Upper Divisions, we asked our students, faculty and families to share what they’re looking forward to in the year ahead, from reconnecting with friends and meeting new people, to discovering new interests and taking on new challenges.

Now we want to hear from you: What are you or your child most excited about this year?
Here's to a great year ahead!

We're ready for the year ahead ✨

Yesterday, more than 400 Avenues faculty and staff came together to reconnect, learn and prepare for the arrival of our students and families next week!

Over the past few weeks, Embark, our global professional learning program, has brought together school leadership, new colleagues and, most recently, returning faculty and staff to learn, exchange ideas, set shared goals and prepare for the year ahead.

The energy is here. The community is together. And we can’t wait to welcome our families and students.

Avenues colleagues: What are you most excited about this year?

Summer@Avenues may have wrapped earlier this month, but we’re still thinking about all the fun, creativity and connection packed into six unforgettable weeks. ☀️

From Market & Mini Entrepreneurs to Kitchen Chemistry to Space and, of course, Water Day! 💦—each week brought a new opportunity to explore, create, experiment and learn together.

This summer also marked the launch of our Jr. Teaching Fellow program, giving Avenues students entering grades 6–8 the opportunity to work alongside our summer teaching team in a language-immersion setting. Through the experience, they built leadership and collaboration skills—and formed new connections across grades that we hope will carry into the school year ahead.

A huge thank you to Ms. Casadei and the entire Summer@Avenues team for creating such a joyful and inspiring summer for our students. 💙

08/14/2026

Applications for the 2027–28 school year are now open. ✨

From Small World through grade 12, Avenues is a place where students are known, challenged and encouraged to follow their curiosity, discover what matters to them and grow into who they’re becoming.

We’re pleased to welcome a new group of families into the admissions process.
