What being a Round Square school means to us
A founding member of Round Square, Athenian’s educational philosophy is identical to that of Round Square. Dyke Brown, founder of The Athenian School, studied under world-renowned educator, Kurt Hahn. Kurt Hahn spoke at Athenian’s founding day ceremony in 1966, the same year that Round Square was born. Round Square is part of Athenian’s DNA. Fellowship and service with other Round Square schools from around the world has always been as an integral part of The Athenian School.
