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.

Favorite Moments

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.
