Extra Curriculars & Our Partners
Extra Curricular
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.
