SECONDARY DIVISION

The Middle and Upper Grades are where our ambitious goals for Avenues graduates, defined in ourmission statement, are most comprehensively realized. While in grades 6-12, we prepare students for a globally connected, innovation-driven, and largely unknown future. Our students will be: accomplished in all the academic skills you would expect, at ease beyond their borders, and confident because they excel in a particular passion.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Avenues Shenzhen learning experience is divided into three year-long themes that embody the paradigms, tensions, and values at the heart of innovation and making: Origins of Discovery (Grade 10), Roads to Innovation (Grade 11), and Building the Future (Grade 12).
