How does Athena Academy incorporate outside organizations and research into its approach?

Athena Academy doesn’t reinvent the wheel—they just make sure it’s the right size, shape, and speed for every student. Instead of going it alone, they partner with the rock stars of the learning differences world. We’re talking about trusted names like the UCSF Dyslexia Center, the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity, and Bright & Quirky, to name a few. These aren’t just pretty links on a website; they’re baked into how Athena teaches, supports, and inspires. The school curates research-backed strategies and tools from these powerhouses and integrates them into everyday learning. The result? A curriculum that’s not only current but also compassionate, customized, and totally in sync with how neurodiverse students actually learn best.
