The Athena School/Athena Montessori

Welcome to The Athena School!

Nestled in the heart of Newtown, NSW, Australia, The Athena School has been a beacon of learning since its founding in 1986. We pride ourselves on being an independent educational institution that offers a truly unique approach to education.

At Athena, we embrace the Applied Scholastics Educational Philosophy, which encourages independent learning and the practical application of knowledge. Our students, ranging from Prep to Year 10, embark on a journey of holistic development. This means we focus not just on academics, but also on nurturing the intellectual, physical, creative, spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of each child.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is rich and diverse, covering a variety of subjects that meet the NSW Education Standards Authority requirements. We believe in creating a learning environment that is both engaging and supportive, allowing each child to thrive.

A Multicultural Community

At The Athena School, we celebrate diversity! Our multicultural environment fosters kindness and compassion, encouraging students to appreciate and respect one another. We believe that these values are essential for building a strong, caring community.

Join us at The Athena School, where learning is a joyful adventure!
