About the Athenian School
Established in 1965, the Athenian School aims to promote the complete and overall development of students. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges and a member of the National Independent Private School Association recognised it as a leading educational establishment.
The school covers an area of 75 acres, and it is 36 miles from East San Francisco, where students can make use of the cultural resources, or take trips to the Pacific Ocean coastline and Grand Sierra.
The school has significant and unique teaching plans. It sets courses for grades 6-12, and students of grades 9-12 can choose to lodge. 10% of students are international ones that come from 9 countries. International enrolment and exchanges greatly expand the views of students. Each class has around 15-18 students on average, therefore, teachers have acquainted themselves with the study skills of every student, and encourage them to enter discussions and study actively.
Admission to Universities
