Athena Montessori Academy Events

At Athena we believe that this “Absorbent Mind” developmental period is not only a time for absorbing and acquiring mental intelligence capabilities, but also ideal for absorbing and cultivating physical capabilities, and is, therefore, an ideal time to begin healthy habits for an active, well-rounded lifestyle. Our Extra Curricular classes are designed to supplement the Montessori curriculum by providing an opportunity for the children to enroll in classes that explore their world through movement and physical discipline, while at the same time allowing parents the peace of mind and convenience of having the benefits of these classes at their school community. We have partnered with some of Austin’s top programs to offer optional classes in creative dance, gymnastics, martial arts, acting, soccer, private piano lessons and Chinese lessons. We are open to exploring additional partnerships based on the interests of our Athena community.

These programs are offered separately, after school, in our Community Resource Center. Schedules, registration and tuition are handled directly through each partner. Your child does not need to be enrolled in our After School Program to enroll in one or more Extra Curricular classes. You may try any class for free the first time, and you are welcome to enroll in classes while on the waiting list for Athena.
