The Athena School is an existing independent Primary and High School in Newtown. Our Montessori Prep class is Kindy minus 1, and uses the philosophy of Maria Montessori. We have a fully trained Montessori Teacher and a Montessori Teacher's Assistant to ensure a gentle transition into school life for the young ones.

Here at Athena we provide a safe and friendly environment. We focus on helping our students to truly understand their materials, so they can apply in life what they have learnt at school.

Prep is the undercut to Kindergarten so a student may enroll in our Prep class the year before they would be enrolling in Kindergarten.

The aim of our Montessori Prep class is to guide children to be confident and independent learners in preparation for the Kindergarten class.
