<p>We live in Manhattan and I refused to tour Avenues for a few reasons… New school and it’s philosophy isn’t for us. I didn’t like how they were actively trying to recruit kids from our school (a private) and it so happened that those kids were all kids of celebs. None of them left our school for Avenues but that left a bad taste with me. The were a few more turns offs…but I’m sure after a few solid years, it may be the school it wants to be…once the kinks are worked out</p>
