Our Programs
Beyond the rigorous curriculum our students have an opportunity to spend their time creatively and enjoyably by participating in diverse activities offered by Athens College's after-school program, the Special Programs.
The programs offer foreign language lessons in English, French, German, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, a comprehensive Athletics and Dance program, a Conservatory which prepares students for exams in orchestral and modern instruments and organizes concerts, innovative lessons in STEAM and chess. Students choose from among 55 options, one of the largest, if not the largest, after-school program in the Balcans. Over 1500 students each year train for competitions; prepare to sit foreign language certification exams; take classes in fine and performing arts; go on excursions; and train in competitive team sports.
Special Programs classes are conducted in our school’s state-of-the-art facilities, under the guidance of specialized teachers. By participating in these, students socialize and interact with similarly aged children who share their same interests.
Music classes at the College Conservatory are open to students from outside our school.
