Case Study: Avenues achieves seamless global collaboration and enhanced multilingual learning with Showbie

How Avenues School Uses Showbie to Help Students Become Global Citizens

Avenues: The World School, an innovative multilingual K–12 school based in New York City that is expanding campuses globally, needed a way to deliver a coherent, immersive language curriculum and consistent assessment across sites and year‑long teacher rotations. To coordinate curricular content, support language immersion, enable timely formative feedback, and keep families involved, Avenues selected the Showbie platform as its classroom workflow, content‑sharing, and assessment tool.

Showbie lets Avenues teachers push translated materials schoolwide, collect and comment on student audio for music and language practice, maintain year‑to‑year student portfolios, and give parents access — all from students’ iPads. Five years after adopting Showbie, Avenues serves 1,400 students and has more than 150 enthusiastic Showbie users; teachers report faster content sharing, richer feedback, stronger student self‑assessment, and increased parent engagement, with staff calling Showbie a “lifesaver” for the school’s global model.
