Welcome

Current Parent

My children have grown tremendously in organization, executive functioning skills, and content knowledge. They found friends quickly, and we became connected to a great community of families. I highly recommend Athens Academy!

Welcome!

     For the past 58 years, Athens Academy has been the leader in education in Northeast Georgia. With a focus on EACH child, our faculty are preparing our students for that next step in their journey to college and life beyond. Whether you have a Preschooler learning his letters, a Lower Schooler developing her writing skills, a Middle Schooler solving algebraic problems, or an Upper Schooler exploring genetics, Spartan students are guided by expert teachers who help make learning creative and impactful. 

     Along with Academics, Athens Academy places strong emphasis Arts, Athletics, and Service and Leadership.  These four pillars ensure that Spartan students have a healthy balance of tools as they navigate life.  We are proud of:
  • Our graduates, who have matriculated at colleges and universities across 30 states, Washington, D.C., and even internationally.
  • Service and leadership initiatives, which begin in the Preschool with the Kindness Club and continue through all divisions.
  • Our strong athletic program, with 54 State Championships.
  • The fact that Athens Academy is the only school in the area providing string orchestra education to ALL second grade students.

     Athens Academy is a community where EACH student is able to safely explore and find his or her passion. We are proud of our diversity of talents, interests, backgrounds, and perspectives. We are equally proud of the way or students encourage and support each other.

     We encourage you to schedule an individual tour so that we may answer any questions and share the best parts of the Athens Academy experience with you. Please contact us at 706-433-2599 or by email to get started.
