APPLICATION PROCESS


STEP 1: Attend a Tour

We offer select dates for families to tour Atheneum. This year we will be offering both in person and virtual tours.  The content of the tours will be essentially the same in both formats.  During the in person tours, we will be able to go take a look at each of the Atheneum classrooms to meet the teachers and see what a typical day in an Atheneum classroom looks like.  At the virtual tour, you will get an overview of the Atheneum program, learn about our curriculum and ask questions.  

All in person tours last approximately one hour. 

In Person Tour Dates:
-Thursday, November 16 at 8:30 am
-Thursday, January 18 at 8:30 am
-Thursday, April 4 at 8:30 am
-Thursday, May 9 at 8:30 am

All virtual tours start at 7:00 pm and last approximately one hour. 

Virtual Tour Dates:
-Thursday, December 14
-Thursday, March 7
