Welcome to the ACS Athens Academy

Dear Students and Parents:

The faculty and administration of the Academy are pleased to present the Program of Studies for the 2024-25 school year.  We believe these diverse offerings are unparalleled in Greece at the secondary school level.  As an international school embracing American principles of education, our program strives to maximize the growth of the whole person and to provide equal opportunities for a diverse student body. Our focus is also to encourage multicultural awareness, understanding, and action, as well as to honor the rich culture of our host country.

The range of courses offered at the Academy allows students with varied interests and talents to excel and to grow.  Courses are offered in all of the core academic areas, as well as in the fine arts, computer technology, physical education and health.  The Optimal Learning, ESL, and Guidance Programs provide individualized assistance for students who require it. Taken as a whole, the Academy program offers an exemplary college preparatory experience for all students.

The Program of Studies is written to assist students and parents in making informed choices for course selections.  Courses will run provided that student enrollment is sufficient- generally a minimum of 10.  Please review the following course descriptions and visual representations of Academy offerings.  It is important that to maintain contact with the student's counselor to ensure that students’ schedules will satisfy all Academy graduation requirements and also match their special strengths and interests.

The entire Academy looks forward to greeting you in September 2024.

The Academy Administration, Faculty, and Staff

Returning in 2024-25

Our Academy course offerings for the next academic year will be extended to our existing online courses from which students can choose up to one full-credit course per year.  No extra fees are charged if this full-credit online course is included within the students' eight academic courses; however, if it is additional to the eight courses, the student will be required to pay an extra fee. Students who choose the option of an online course will be expected to work independently in the study hall during the respective period.
