The Athenian School
(Below from Woodside website, www.prioryca.org)The Athenian School believes the best way to master academic subjects is to experience their application first hand. In our rigorous academic program, you and other talented students from the East Bay and around the world will immerse yourselves deeply in coursework, inspiring each other to think critically and collaborate as global citizens.
Athenian faculty are noted for expertise in their subjects, enthusiasm for teaching, dynamic classes, multiple roles on campus, and strong connection with students. Many have advanced degrees and bring a wealth of real-life experience to the classroom. Athenian faculty are published authors, Peace Corps volunteers, lab scientist, marathon runners, conference presenters, wilderness first responders, business owners, and former college professors.
OAthenian offers a beautiful and well-equipped 75-acre campus of oak-covered hills at the base of Mt. Diablo in Danville, just 32 miles east of San Francisco. The Athenian School is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the California Association of Independent Schools.
Athenian buses transport students to and from many East Bay communities (from Berkeley/Oakland to Pleasanton/ Livermore), meeting the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART) at four stations.
The Admission Committee seeks students who bring a strong academic record, show readiness for Athenian’s rigorous curriculum, embrace our mission and programs, and contribute positively to our community of learners. The Committee considers the whole student, including grades, writing, student statements, a parent questionnaire, teacher recommendations, and a student visit.
For International Students
Applicants who have not attended school in the U.S. for at least the past three years, should complete the International Student Application. This applies to both day and boarding student applicants. Please contact the Admission Office with questions regarding status as a domestic or international applicant.
International students achieve fluency in English, and gain a strong overall academic foundation. Students who need English support in grades 9 or 10 benefit from Athenian's rigorous ESL curriculum.
