The SAT is a fact of life for most college-bound students. Why not prepare for it along with your friends during the summer in a relaxed environment when you aren't preoccupied with homework, tutorials, practices, and rehearsals? Whether English is your best subject or not, increase your chances of doing well on two of the three sections of the SAT by building on what you already know about the rules of writing, expanding your vocabulary by learning how to decode words both in and out of context, and learning specific strategies and techniques that will enable you to stare down those daunting questions. Tuition includes The Official SAT Study Guide published by the College Board.

As we move into the final month of the 2009-2010 school year, please continue to check the various calendars for upcoming events. http://www.athensacademy.org/news/calendar/
The scheduling process at Athens Academy takes time. It is a lengthy process because schedules are created based on a number of factors and many people are involved in the process. Now that Departmental Recommendations have been made, please conference with your child's advisor to discuss the next steps.
Please remember that Wednesday, March 3rd is the day designated for Upper School Conferences. All 9th grade parents and students are asked to conference with their advisor at the same time and location as the fall conferences. The primary focus of spring conferences will be to discuss scheduling for next year and to provide any needed support for the remainder of this year. Please be in touch with your child's advisor to confirm your attendance.
Parents of students in grades 10, 11, and 12 are also asked to conference with advisors if there is a discrepancy with the departmental recommendation sent home during the week of February 22nd or if there is a need to discuss immediate concerns. We stand ready to assist you as you finish this year and plan for the next.
