Athena Education Group is a startup company based in Midtown Manhattan that delivers international learning solutions for students in the United States and China. --- Athena is committed to the following values: ENGINEERING STUDENT EXPERIENCES A central precept driving Athena is that we will always begin with the student’s experience and reverse engineer all else from that point. To achieve this, our team is replete with young blood – recent graduates who are intimately aware of the practical realities that face our generation – rather than theorists who can sometimes be removed from those that they are serving. MAXIMIZING ARTISTRY AND TASTE Good design is a virtue that is too often ignored within education. At Athena, artistry and taste will never be secondary. From generating broad program conceptualizations to executing the smallest tangible details, we are driven by an incessant compulsion to eliminate any unnecessary complexity so that our students can get back to what is most important – learning. EMPHASIZING IDEAS OVER HIERARCHY Great ideas can come from anyone; they are not exclusive to those at the top of the organizational chart. In fact, it is often personal experiences in the field, especially those of students’, that provide some of our most valuable insights. We recognize the dangers of dogma and bureaucratization and therefore will never cease to encourage active collaboration and debate.
