The Athenian Academy has a strong partnership with the Greek Embassy Department of Education. Our Greek teachers participate in a 3-5 year teacher exchange program and are all highly qualified, veteran, native speaking, educators from Greece.

The Athenian Academy employs State of Florida certified Spanish teachers. With multiple Spanish teachers on site, each brings the advantage of their home country dialect to the Spanish curriculum.

Dual Foreign Language Instruction Focus
Athenian Academy, established in the year 2000, was the first Greek immersion charter school in the United States. Today Athenian Academy’s curriculum has evolved into dual foreign languages including both Greek and Spanish. Athenian is the only school in Pinellas County that teaches two foreign languages daily to all K-8 students.
Traditional public schools offer foreign language classes, often popular options like Spanish and French.
But overall, children in the United States are behind their counterparts elsewhere in the world who
learn multiple languages while growing up. Students at Athenian along with core academics receive daily
instruction in English, Greek and Spanish giving them a tri-lingual, tri-cultural global advantage.
