Making Music With Kids

03/22/2026

Gifted kids often struggle with developing executive functioning skills.

Our Junior Presenters program is just one of the ways we help students learn how to manage big projects--in a positive and supportive atmosphere!

Our Junior Presenters…
- Set their own presentation date (in collaboration with their moderator)
- Create their own advertisement materials
- Communicate with attendees
- Create their own presentations
- And more!

Giving students the opportunity to take responsibility, while still having a safety net, is deeply important to us! Is your student ready to be part of a community that supports them in building their skills? Register them today to join our community: https://athenasacademy.com/registration-enrollment/register-your-student/

Traditional education has a growing emphasis on student dependency on instructors.

At Athena’s, we encourage our students to learn independently and follow their passions–while providing them with a solid foundation for independent success!
