Pillars

At Athena Micro-academy of Austin, we live by a set of pillars to help build young leaders with character and intellect. We teach our students to take a thoughtful approach to their education and life, to think of others and make fair decisions, to have the strength to make good choices, to approach the world with curiosity and critical thinking, to be accountable to their duties and responsibilities, to do the right thing when no one is watching, and to exercise emotional intelligence and treat others with kindness and empathy.
