    About Avenues

    Avenues The World School was founded in New York in 2012 with a mission to redefine schooling for a fast-changing world. With a global mindset since inception, our São Paulo campus opened its doors in August 2018 to provide a truly transformative educational experience in Brazil. Welcoming a vibrant community of over 1200 students ranging from as young as 18 months old to 12th grade, our campus buzzes with a culture of innovation, creativity, and state-of-the-art technology. Through immersive English language learning, a rigorous Brazilian program and authentic interdisciplinary projects, our passionate world-class faculty prepare our students to become future worldwise leaders uniquely equipped to understand and solve global-scale problems. As part of the Nord Anglia Education network since 2023, we are proud to collaborate with Avenues New York to shape the future of education together. Join us as we embark on a journey of lifelong learning and discover why there's no place quite like Avenues—global in essence, local in presence.
