8/8/2025
My kid has been at Athens Academy for eight years now, and we couldn't imagine her anywhere else. The strong relationships she has developed with teachers and classmates have been amazing. She has been supported and challenged consistently from day one. She's got a few years left before graduation, and we're really confident that Athens Academy will prepare her to get into a great college and do well once she's there.
6/11/2024
My children are Athens Academy graduates. I was happy when they were students there (K-12), and I am happier as I see them thrive in college building on the foundation they built at AA.
6/10/2024
Great students and talented teachers. Great preparation for college and life beyond. Community of learners.
GreatSchools Reviews
1/17/2023
Not worth your money. This school should be closely investigated! They do not care for children in the Upper School, especially administrators.
2/15/2014
Athens Academy is a very unique, accepting place with a wonderful learning environment. Unlike the stereotype I hear all the time, this school is not all "rich kids." My family, never wealthy, has been struggling financially, but we believe so strongly in this school that we continued to invest in o...
2/15/2014
This school is outstanding. When I see a rare, negative review, I assume the writer either could not get in or could not maintain the level of academic rigor that is required to succeed here. A high number of teachers here have advanced degrees, and some of the science teachers are involved in resea...
10/20/2013
Athens Academy is top notch in being academically challenging and producing high achievers who are well rounded athletically, artistically, and dramatically. My child is in high school and we have not encountered any issues with sex or drugs. In fact there are several opportunities for students to p...
