AVENUES NEW YORK LLC

Affluent, internationally-minded families who want their young child immersed in a second language from toddlerhood and are comfortable with — even energized by — a large, progressive, globally-oriented school community.

• Full language immersion in Mandarin or Spanish beginning in toddlerhood and continuing through the elementary years.
• A 7:1 student-teacher ratio maintained at remarkable scale — over 1,600 students with more than 230 teaching staff.
• The 'World Elements' global curriculum system, designed as the through-line that ties the school's signature programs together.
• 'Global Journeys,' an experiential learning component that takes the world-school concept beyond the classroom.
• Specialized upper-division offerings including High Intensity Practice and an Institute of Advanced Math.
• NEASC accreditation, a credential shared with many of the country's most established independent schools.

• Tuition is a flat $75,300 for 2026-27, placing Avenues at the very top of the New York private-school market.
• With 1,636 students, this is a very large private school — families seeking a small, intimate community should weigh that scale carefully.
• The listed grade range covers PK through 5th grade in the data provided, so families looking at middle or high school will need to verify continuation directly with the school.
• The progressive, design-thinking, global-citizenship frame is a specific philosophical fit — families who want a more traditional or religiously grounded education will likely feel out of place.
• The school's West Chelsea location means a real commute for most families outside Lower or Midtown Manhattan, even with three nearby subway lines.
