Come Play, Learn & Grow With Us
Welcome to Ave International School
Our Early childhood program utilizes a child-centered, inquiry-based approach to learning, the foundation of Ave International School.
Inquiry-based learning experiences are designed to capitalize on children’s natural tendencies to be curious and explore their interests within and beyond the classroom.

EDUCATION
Ave International School aims to develop a high quality and challenging education program for a worldwide community. Our expertise in education allows us to choose what we strongly believe is the best for an international and global education, encouraging diversity and flexibility in teaching methods.
INQUIRY
Inquiry-based learning starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. The process is often assisted by a teacher as a facilitator/ mentor & provocateur.
EMPOWERMENT
We want our students to be curious, independent, and passionate thinkers and problem solvers by having opportunities of choice, reflection, students as teachers & teachers as students, continue self-evaluation, students voices are heard as much as teachers, we are all a community of learners.
