The Athenian School is a Bay Area, college preparatory, independent school for grades 6-12 (day and boarding in grades 10-12). We are located at the base of Mt. Diablo, in Danville California. The Athenian School believes the best way to master subjects is to experience their application first hand. Athenian is a school where students will deeply themselves deeply in coursework, inspiring each other to think critically and develop the capacity to become true global citizens.
