Faculty
Taught by people who know the subject.
The instruction is the thing you are paying for, so it matters who gives it.
At Athena the teacher is the institution. Our instruction is delivered by [an experienced classical educator / named teacher] — [degree(s), field], [years] teaching [subjects] — who [one line of relevant distinction].
We hold ourselves to the standard we set for our students: subject mastery first, and the patience to bring another mind to it. Our faculty are chosen for what they know and for their ability to teach it plainly to a child.
On our secular character
Athena is a secular academy. We teach the classical disciplines as a common inheritance, open to every family regardless of belief, and we keep matters of faith to the home and the congregation where they belong. This is a deliberate stance, calmly held.
The name
We take our name from Athena — goddess of wisdom and of techne, the patron of those who prevail by mastery of craft rather than by force. It is the temperament we mean to cultivate.

A trial class is the shortest way to judge it.
