The Athenian School

About

Athenian believes that the best way to master academic subjects is to experience their application first hand. In our rigorous academic program, you and other talented students from the East Bay and around the world will immerse yourselves in coursework, inspiring each other to think critically, problem solve, and collaborate as global citizens. As an Athenian graduate, you will thrive in any of the nation's best colleges and be poised for a life of intellectual exploration and meaningful contribution. 

535 students (170 in grades 6-8, 365 in grades 9-12) enjoy a beautiful 75-acre campus at the base of Mt. Diablo. Distinctive programs include middle school focus days, learning by doing in student-focused projects, engineering design, international exchange, and a signature grade 11 wilderness experience. Graduates attend many colleges, carefully matched for each student's learning style and goals. One of our graduates said, "Athenian is school as it should be."
