Dyke Brown, Founder of Athenian
But we have something else, and it may be more important. We have the strength and vitality of our commitment to an ideal, to a belief which all of us at Athenian share: that human beings and their possibilities come first; that the potentialities of our young people are superb; and that our overriding task as teachers is to help each one become everything he or she can be – in mind, in body, in spirit, in creative expression, in personal relations, in the wider community – in short, in their entire life.
