Through this commitment, we have developed a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for a satisfying career in today’s economic environment. We strive to create a nurturing training environment that meets the needs of our student base. We believe that learning is enhanced in a positive relationship that develops between the student and instructor.
Our instruction includes teaching in the best practices of adult learning and career placement as well as incorporates teachings in dignity, cultural diversity, and customer service. Teaching and Learning exist beyond the classroom lecture to include “soft skills”, personal tutoring, “hands on” instruction and student centered learning. Our goal is to make sure our students are trained to make a positive difference in their chosen careers.

Testimonials
After being out of school for over two decades, deciding to go into the phlebotomy program at Athena was very scary. But once I met with my instructors and got to know the students, it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made about my education in a long time. The teachers here care and want to see you succeed, and with the smalls classes, you can’t help but do that….so thanks Athena!

Right out of Athena I made over $75,000 a year and got a $12,000 sign on bonus! Athena really changed my life and my experience at Athena opened so many doors for me!

I had a wonderful experience at Athena, the instructors are amazing, and they helped you through every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend a family member or friend to come to Athena!
The education I received from Athena has shown me there are so many areas of nursing I can go into. I have gained the knowledge to better provide for my family and I am so proud to say that I will be a safe and effective nurse!
