History
Avenues: The World School, a private school network co-founded by Benno C. Schmidt Jr., Chris Whittle, and Alan Greenberg, opened its first campus in Chelsea, New York City, in September 2012 with 738 students.[4][5] In 2019, Avenues launched a virtual campus called Avenues Online.[1] Avenues later opened a physical campus in San Jose, California, branded as Avenues Silicon Valley, in the fall of 2022.[6][7]
In August 2024, the school announced its rebranding from Avenues Online to AEON School, reflecting its status as an entity independent of Avenues: The World School. According to the USA Fencing announcement, the name “AEON” is derived from the Greek word for “forever.”[1]
