To encourage students to value themselves, knowledge and learning, while assisting them to achieve their goals through persistence, integrity and understanding of self and others.

The Athena School is an independent, co-educational school, which provides a nurturing learning environment for students from Pre-Kindy through Primary and High School to Year 10, whilst being educated on the NSW Board of Studies Curriculum.

Our name, Athena, is derived from the ancient Greek Goddess of Wisdom and the Arts.

The Athena School was founded in 1986 by a group of concerned parents, who recognised that not all teaching results in students actually learning and that the future of our society depends upon the ability to learn and put that knowledge into use.

It is expected that each student will leave the school fully equipped to lead a happy, successful and worthwhile life in whatever community they choose to participate.
