About Avenues
Avenues | The World School is one school with many campuses, providing transformative, world-focused learning experiences to students around the globe. Avenues prepares students for engaged global citizenship during a time of unprecedented complexity and accelerating change, combining language immersion, interdisciplinary learning, a global curriculum, and a culture of creativity and deep collaboration.

About Avenues AON
Avenues Online takes advantage of best-in-class technology to create a singular, international community of scholars. Students interact daily with peers in over 25 countries, including France, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Uruguay, Spain, South Africa, and the United States. This nurtures a global mindset where students learn to exercise empathy and collaborate across languages and cultures. Students learn to use mental agility when facing ambiguity and how to apply creativity when working with abstractions. They develop metacognitive awareness that empowers them to absorb new information and skills long after graduation.

Beyond the AON world (where this role reports to the Global Director of Online Programs) the Director of Content and Events partners with the global Creative/Marketing teams and will be a collaborative peer to other Directors of Content & Events from the New York, São Paulo, Silicon Valley and Shenzhen campuses.
