We're so glad to have our kids at Athens Academy. We love the extra support, the programs, the activities the kids get to do, and the campus is amazing. I'm jealous that I didn't get to go to a school like this when I was their age.

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...
