We are
led by curiosity.

Set in the foothills of Mt. Diablo, at Athenian we challenge students to think bigger, reach farther, and become lifelong learners. This spirit lives in everything we do from the trails we hike to the ideas we explore—together.

The Athenian Way

It’s a promise of an expansive, ongoing journey of knowledge seeking. Education at Athenian is a 24/7, 360° full-tilt pursuit. 
It’s a way of life pioneered by our founder, Dyke Brown, over 60 years ago. 
It’s who we are. Built on the ideals of internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership, and service, we teach big lessons and create big-time learners. 
That’s the Athenian way.
