How do students learn to become entrepreneurs and lead their own business? How do you develop your ability to work in a team? How do you learn to communicate effectively in a variety of situations, using appropriate techniques? The latest reports show that 65% of children entering primary school now will have jobs that have not yet been invented.
In a rapidly changing world, the ability to anticipate and prepare students for the skills of the future is essential for any educational institution. Our āLearning Outside of the Classroomā programme addresses these new trends through a curriculum based on a 2-year cycle.

Personal Development
At Avenor College, we believe that learning happens not only in a traditional setup, but also through experiences taking place outside traditional school framework. In such a rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to anticipate and prepare for the skills of the future is essential to any educational institution. We approach this aspect through our activities and programs dedicated to personal development: weekly classes with our school psychologists, annual awards given to students, out-of-class learning programs, but also a program created by school psychologists for parents in the community.
Our students’ educational journey and the results they achieve upon completing high school help Avenor graduates go on to top universities, with their choice of specialization being based on their individual passions. We are proud of the variety of courses our graduates have pursued over the years at prestigious universities around the world.
Events
Our high school students are involved in events, not only as participants, but often as organizers. In recent years, the events they have organised have brought together hundreds of community participants and often served a charitable purpose. In this way, students develop important skills in project management, which will help them later, regardless of the careers they choose.
