Athenian sits at the foot of Mt. Diablo, and its students spend a lot of time learning outside the classroom: Focus Days in middle school, March Term in the upper school and, in junior year, the 26-day Athenian Wilderness Experience in the High Sierra or Death Valley. It’s a remarkable program, and it means students sometimes need help catching up or planning around time away.
Discussion, seminars and writing
Athenian’s classes are discussion-based, with literature and history seminars in the upper school and plenty of writing. Our UC Berkeley tutors help students read closely, contribute with confidence and write strong analytical essays. We also tutor math, from middle school placement through calculus, the sciences and languages.
Applying to Athenian
For families applying for 6th or 9th grade, we help students prepare for whatever the current admissions process asks, including any entrance testing and math placement. Check with Athenian’s admissions office for this year’s requirements, then see our admissions test prep.
Tell us about your student and where they are in school, and we’ll suggest a tutor who fits Athenian’s style.
