An Athens Academy Education

Current Preschool Parent

I have fallen in love with the teachers, communication, and sense of community ACAD works so hard to foster.  This is such a loving and safe environment that it is palpable.  Everyone seems to love being at work and nourishing young minds.  It is truly a special place.
As an independent, college preparatory school, Athens Academy is committed to excellence with honor for and from each and every student, from the youngest Preschooler up through twelfth grade. Our curriculum is designed as a set of building blocks, with each grade building upon the previous year in order to set every child up for success.  Experiential learning, creativity, and exploration are important parts of the school day, as are critical thinking and problem solving. Faculty work hard to differentiate learning and to meet the needs of each and every child, with help from the Learning Resource Center.
