Story

PURPOSE: To educate each of the children so as to improve their survival in life, to make study seem desirable and to open the world of knowledge to them.


Learning at Athena
Our approach is friendly and caring and works to develop in the students a passion for learning.

To achieve this, we provide smaller classes with a higher teacher/student ratio and more personalised attention.


The school’s educational focus is on nurturing the student’s individual talents and encouraging an enquiring mind.

Students at Athena are introduced to a simple, practical method of study from their early school years. By the time they arrive in High School they are independently able to use this method of study to investigate and research any topic of interest. Furthermore, this method of study results in the students truly understanding what they have learned, so they can put their knowledge to practical use in the workaday world.

Mission

To use the art of teaching to provide a challenging and inspiring environment that identifies and expands each student's talents and interests and motivates them in their pursuit of knowledge, resulting in the student's progression to self confidence and independence.
