WHAT YOU'LL DO

The Avenues Language Learning Intensive (ALLI) is a program where a small team of colleagues works exclusively with a cohort of 6th–9th grade students. The program's mission is to sharpen and develop students' English reading, writing, and speaking skills through a project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum.

In this semester-long onboarding program, the ALLI Associate Teacher plays a key role in empowering language learners to find their voice and fully access the Avenues experience.
