Does my child need a formal diagnosis to apply to Athena Academy?

Nope, your child doesn’t need a formal diagnosis to apply to Athena Academy. While many students do come with evaluations for dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, it’s not a strict requirement at the start. What Athena cares about most is fit. They want to know if their teaching style and environment will truly support your child’s needs and help them thrive. That said, having a professional assessment can be super helpful during the admissions process. It gives the team a deeper understanding of how your child learns best. If you’re not quite there yet, don’t stress. You can still begin the conversation and explore whether Athena could be the right home for your bright, unique learner.
