ABOUT AVENUES SHENZHEN
Avenues Shenzhen is a top-tier bilingual school which offers a truly global education. After launching in 2018 with a unique early childhood program, Avenues Shenzhen now serves about 500 students from 1.5 to 18 years of age with a cutting-edge educational program spanning the Primary and Secondary Divisions.
At Avenues Shenzhen, teaching and learning happen through language immersion in both English and Chinese as well as challenging interdisciplinary projects. Our campus community fosters a culture of creativity, entrepreneurship and deep collaboration, with state-of-the-art technology throughout the campus. We are a community of talented and dedicated educators and colleagues who are passionate about learning and growth. There are unparalleled possibilities for professional learning and development. There is no place quite like Avenues Shenzhen.
KINDERGARTEN
Our innovative early childhood program comprising Small World (1.5 year olds), nursery, pre-k and kindergarten is a laboratory of joy, discovery, and exploration. Children learn primarily through play, and our role as educators is to help foster a love of learning that young children will carry with them as they move upwards through school. Collaboration is woven into everything we do. Teams of English and Chinese teachers share two classes of students, collaborating to nurture their students’ social, emotional and academic growth. Teacher teams share responsibility for the curriculum and plan together daily. This intense collaboration is challenging as well as exciting: we’re always evolving, learning from each other and seeking to improve.
