  • Athenian's impact begins here

    Join our community
Athenian’s impact begins with our faculty and staff. We collaborate, are endlessly curious, and we love kids. At Athenian, we work together to create transformative learning experiences for our students.

A Community of Global Citizens

At Athenian, every adult on campus is an educator and a valued member of our community. Faculty have the freedom to design their curricula, collaborating across disciplines to create the best learning opportunities for our students. Staff across departments participate actively in community life and form deep connections with students. 

As a community of global citizens, we are committed to social justice, critical thinking, cooperation, reasoned discourse, and mutual respect. The adults in our community model open and honest communication and a commitment to personal and intellectual growth. We are actively seeking to create a more culturally competent and diverse school community because we know that what makes us different as individuals makes us stronger as a community. If you would like to join us, please visit our career center.

Athenian has on-campus housing and a daycare for employees and their families. Our benefits and compensation include medical, dental, vision, retirement, life and disability insurance, and Flex Spending for medical and dependent care. We also support faculty in pursuing a wide range of professional development opportunities.

Favorite Moments

  • Erika Argueta-Connor

    As a Spanish teacher in the middle school my favorite part is working with our wonderful students. They are polite, but they also know they can share their opinions. Working with my colleagues, I have enjoyed a sense of comradery and shared love for working with our students. I especially love when it is time to prepare in our teams for Focus Fridays and the product that we create for our student's enjoyment. I am also appreciative of the wonderful support we receive from our MS families. 
     
    In the residential community my favorite part is working with our amazing boarding students.  They each bring such wonderful experience into our community, and it is great fun to watch them engage in new activities that will benefit the whole boarding program-for instance in improving our Boarding Garden- for some of our students, this is a first-time experience.

  • Tillie Gottlieb, College Counselor

    Exit interviews with seniors. Our seniors can articulate so well not only their gratitude, but what they’re learning and what they hope to do. It was profound that they’re so invested in this place; they care so much about maintaining the spirit of Athenian. We are preparing these students so well, and they know it.

  • Kristina Merschat, Upper School Spanish Teacher

    Senior Cry Day when the boys are saying goodbye and thanking other boys. Our world is hard for boys. They feel so safe here, thanking each other, apologizing, saying I miss you, I love you. It’s beautiful.

  • Stephanie McGraw, Upper School Humanities Teacher

    For Sophomore Fun Night, it was pouring rain and with no Main Hall, we had to improvise. The sophomores played capture the flag for hours, soaking wet and having the best time just playing together. They went with it.
