[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the avenues school in nyc doing?

I know zero parents who would consider this school, regardless of language interest. I agree it sounds like a Ponzi scheme.[/quote]

Avenues seems to be doing very well.  It has a respectable waitlist every year, even with its sky high tuition ($54,000/year!!!).  The school has also graduated its first class, and its graduates are attending several highly selective universities, including Ivy League schools.[/quote]

I heard Mr. Whittle is no longer affiliated with Avenues. True? [/quote]

True. The Post article about the school says that he led the launch in 2012 as CEO and resigned in 2015.

All it says on his wikipedia page (citing a WSJ article I can't read) is that he left to launch Whittle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Whittle. That does seem like a very short amount of time to abandon a school you just led through its founding.[/quote]
