The Athenian School:
The Athenian School is a co-educational independent college preparatory school in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. The school is located a beautiful 75-acre campus at the base of Mt. Diablo in Danville, Contra Costa County. We offer a day program for Middle School students (grades 6-8) from the East Bay region and day and boarding programs for Upper School students (grades 9-12) from the US and throughout the world.
Danville is a small, secure residential community with easy access to the extraordinary educational, cultural and recreational opportunities of the San Francisco Bay Area—one of the country's most desirable places to live. The historic and vibrant city of San Francisco is less than an hours' drive west, while the Sierra Nevada mountain range lies just a few hours' drive east. This unique setting offers an opportunity for students around the world to take advantage of the extraordinary cultural, theatrical, and athletic opportunities, and to enjoy the beautiful natural setting and unique and contrasting ecologies of Northern California.
Athenian provides transportation from many East Bay communities, including Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasanton, Livermore, and points between. Athenian's buses and vans pick up students at several BART stations, further expanding the reach of the transportation program. Athenian's network of buses and vans allows students to take advantage of the unique cultural and educational opportunities in the San Francisco Bay area.
