As an independent school, Athens Academy is distinct from other schools because it is supported by tuition and charitable contributions rather than by government or church subsidies. Athens Academy tuition and tax deductible gifts are the two most important sources of financial support. The annual fund provides the extra measure to ensure the best resources are available to our students and faculty in today's learning environment. Our on-going capital campaign Focus on Excellence enhances the school's campus with needed facilities and strengthens endowment. When Athens Academy applies to a foundation for a grant, the specific percentage of participation by parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, and friends who support our school is requested.
High participation is a major factor for foundations in their decision to bestow a grant.
Athens Academy is a non-profit, charitable corporation which has been granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.
