ATHENS is a privately endowed scientific concern and an independent legal entity.

We have responsibility —unique and unusual in Education Sector— to make contribution in fields of knowledge in a manner that prioritize public engagement to help improve the system in our state, the nation, the world.

We have taken to heart the revolutionary spirit that founded our concern and encourage each other to pursue upredicted lines of thinking.

ATHENS collaborative, hands-on, curiosity-driven ethos in the classroom and out extends across our concern — and beyond. On the stage or field, in makerspaces, living communities, and the surrounding area, ATHENS is where brilliant, committed, creative people come together to learn, work, grow, and enjoy.
