Drew Cortese

Director of Global Partnerships at AEON Learning Sciences, NewYork, USA.

He was a founding faculty member at AEON, formerly Avenues Global School, New York in 2012, where he was also a Head of grade and a Dean of students & college counselling.

Within the Research & Development team, Drew specializes in identifying and securing opportunities to expand the school's global community, now spanning three continents and 46 countries.

Earlier, he helped launch their experience design practice, focusing on instilling pride among students, families, and staff affiliated with the school. Nevertheless, Drew's favorite role was and is teaching - whether in a physical classroom or online - and matching wits with AEON’s students from around the world.
”With AEON Online now its own entity I am part of a growth team that's laser-focused on what we're calling "School-as-a-Service.".
By taking the core academic offering that we've honed at AEON over the last decade and making it available to schools worldwide, we can provide innovative pathways to learning anywhere there's an internet connection.
Right after this episode, I'll head to Columbus, OH, for the fencing Summer Nationals, supporting student-athletes from around the US and the world, as Avenues Online continues its partnership as the Official School of USA Fencing.”
