Exciting things are happening with Athens Academy’s enrichment and afterschool programs! This fall, Athens Academy is expanding their K4–6 programs that are designed to spark creativity, encourage physical wellness, and build lifelong friendships.
Parents and caregivers now have additional opportunities to enroll their children in a wide range of engaging classes and active play time. With more than 25 different offerings, kids have the chance to try new things and build their confidence after their school day is over. From athletics and movement to arts, cooking, STEM, and wellness, there’s something for every child's interests.

With over 300 students joining afterschool programming this semester, it shows just how popular these opportunities have become! According to Auxiliary Programs Director Thad Mathis, “This is just the initial batch of enrichments, and we are excited to grow the programs even more throughout the year.”
Athens Academy’s enhanced programming ensures families have access to a safe, structured, and engaging environment each afternoon. Students can enjoy supervised play with support, and participate in group activities that encourage teamwork and social-emotional development.
Take a quick look at some of their Afterschool Extended Day and Enrichment options for the 2025–2026 fall season below. Enrollment is now open and will be updated as needed.
