What the numbers say

Strong teaching. Serious momentum.

About Athena

We started with coding. Schools asked us to do more.

Athena began in Hingham, Massachusetts in 2020 with coding and game design. Since then, the catalog has grown to include science, art, filmmaking, music, theatre, strategy, movement, and practical skills. Athena now also operates summer and expanded-learning programs.
