The Athenian School

Athenian is an independent school for grades 6–12 in Danville, California that prepares students to thrive in college and beyond as engaged learners, global citizens, and meaningful contributors. Through hands-on learning—both in and beyond the classroom—students test ideas, take intellectual risks, and discover the joy of learning. This experiential approach creates an education that is rigorous, personal, and enriched by diverse perspectives.

As a founding member of Round Square, an international network of schools committed to developing global citizens, Athenian embraces its IDEALS—internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership, and service.
