Avenues at the Moment
Summer@Avenues Registration Now Open!
As the greenery deepens and warmth fills the air, another vibrant summer is upon us—Summer@Avenues, our beloved summer program, is back! This year, we continue to offer a diverse array of programs for students from our Small World learners up to rising 10th graders.
Building on last year’s successful language enrichment foundation, this year’s Secondary Division program focuses on public speaking, debate, stand-up comedy, and theatrical expression. Students will have the opportunity to connect with leading instructors from top university debate leagues, engaging in a structured exploration of British Parliamentary (BP) debate. Through current event topics, they will systematically develop skills such as argument construction, rebuttal strategies, and impromptu speaking. In addition, students will be introduced to the history and theory of stand-up comedy, learning how to write jokes, interact with audiences, and master stage presence—using humor as a powerful tool to express meaningful personal perspectives.
Click the links below to explore the program offerings best suited for your child. Enroll before June 1 to enjoy a special early-bird discount (5–15% off, depending on the program). Standard pricing resumes on June 1.
How to Register: WeChat → School Notifications → School Apps → Log into Avenues Extended Learning → 2025 Summer Program → Register
The Avenues Summer Program is also open to families outside of the current Avenues community. Students are welcome to invite their friends to join them in creating an unforgettable summer together!
