Independent co-educational, Pre-Kindergarten to Year 10
The Athena School is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational school for Pre-Kindergarten to Year 10 students, registered by members of the Association of Independent Schools and located in leafy surroundings in Newtown. The school’s goal is: ‘Happy students with the educational tools to competently pursue their goals in life.’
Intelligence relates to a person’s ability to observe and see differences. The Athena School teaches children to observe and think for themselves, allowing them to learn at their own speed while providing realistic, enjoyable challenges and targets. It emphasises the basics of education — reading, writing and arithmetic and their application in life — and how learning is a life-long affair to be enjoyed.
The school uses specially developed educational tools to deliver highly effective and personalised assistance to students who might need extra attention. Other specific features include small classes, individual attention and friendly, approachable teachers who are registered with the Institute of Teachers of NSW and are also fully trained in our internationally successful teaching method and study philosophy. Overall, there is a great community among the parents, students and staff that creates a friendly atmosphere.
The school is a registered overseas provider with CRICOS (Provider No. 02266B) and students from other countries commonly have a high gain in literacy within a relatively short space of time. High school students are given individual programs that align the outcomes of the curriculum with their own personal goals and are aimed at assisting them to achieve their career paths. These are reviewed regularly to ensure maximum benefit for the students.
