The Athena Learning Centers franchise business model has been well thought out for today’s economic conditions, and designed for the single-unit operator as well as the multi-unit investor. We are now franchising throughout the U.S.

Athena Learning Centers is a community of year-round Learning Centers where children go to improve their math and reading skills. Each franchised Athena Learning Center offers the Athena Total Solutions™ package of powerful solutions to help all students meet high standards and prepare them for college and the 21st century workplace.

Athena Learning Centers partnered with Pearson Education, the leader in education services. Through the partnership, Athena Learning Centers selected the programs that are aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to use in each of its franchised locations nationwide. As the leading education services company, Pearson is serious about evolving how the world learns. They apply their deep education experience and research, invest in innovative technologies, and promote collaboration throughout the education ecosystem.

For decades, Pearson Education has had a direct impact on the educational success of millions of students across the country. As one of the pioneers of the American standards movement, Pearson Education has contributed to the development of the Common Core State Standards. At Athena Learning Centers, there is alignment between what your child will learn at the Center and what they are expected to learn at school.

Athena Learning Centers also partnered with The Princeton Review® to offer the best preparation for high stakes tests for your child in PSAT®, SAT®, SAT® subject tests, and AP® subject tests. For over 30 years, The Princeton Review’s methods and techniques have remained the gold standard in the test prep industry.

In addition to personalized instruction in our Learning Centers, Athena also offers online learning solutions for students powered by Virtual Nerd. Virtual Nerd uses their patent-pending Dynamic Whiteboard® online instructional platform to help students learn. Virtual Nerd currently offers hundreds of tutorials in Middle Grades Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Intro Physics. Virtual Nerd is best in class when it comes to online tutoring.
