  • Montessori is a time-tested, brain-based system of education that teaches to the whole child.

    Ongoing research in psychology and neuroscience continues to validate Dr. Montessori’s conclusions about children and learning, and the results are stunning. Based on her extensive observations, Dr. Montessori identified the time from birth to six years as the “Absorbent Mind” period, wherein children learn from their environment by absorbing information like a sponge.

  • Montessori at Athena

    At Athena, we also incorporate art and art history, gardening, music, foreign language instruction, and physical education for all students. The carefully crafted, self-correcting materials in the prepared environment are designed to help the child develop concentration, self-direction, independence, and a love of learning. 

    We encourage you to review articles demonstrating successful outcomes of Montessori that can be found on our Parent Resources page.

Athena is a place to grow as a child, a parent, and a family. We attended for four years for both of our kids, and in a way, the environment truly is infused with magic. But in practice, that magic looks like exceptional educational grounding, deep emotional support, and a staff fully committed to preparing your child—and you—for the next phase of the journey.
