Summer vacation is here—a time for rest, fun, and maybe a bit of travel. But while everyone’s enjoying the break, there’s one important thing many families forget to do: enroll early for the next school year..
If you’re considering Athenian Schools for your child, now is the perfect time to act. Waiting until the last minute could mean missing out on a place in one of Utah’s most innovative public charter schools.
Here’s why early enrollment matters—and why Athenian Schools might be the perfect fit for your family.
🎯 Spots Are Filling Fast
Athenian Schools continue to be a top choice for families across Utah. Why? Because we offer something different. Our personalized approach to education, flexible learning options, and caring school community help students thrive—academically and emotionally.
But with growing interest comes growing demand. Each year, spots fill up quickly, especially in high-demand grades. By enrolling early, you’re not just securing a seat—you’re making a commitment to your child’s future.
✅ What Makes Athenian Schools Different?
We understand that every student learns differently. That’s why we’ve designed a system that gives families real choice in how their child learns:
• Tuition-FREE Education
As a public charter school, Athenian is free to attend. That means high-quality education with no tuition costs, giving you access to resources, programs, and support without breaking the bank.
• Flexible Learning Options
We offer both blended and full-time in person/traditional learning. Whether your child thrives in a structured classroom or learns better from home, we’ve got you covered. Our goal is to meet your child where they are—and help them grow from there.
• Personalized Learning Plans
No cookie-cutter approach here. Each student receives personalized instruction tailored to their needs, strengths, and goals. We focus on helping every child reach their full potential—at their own pace.
• Supportive, Family-Centered Environment
Our teachers and staff work closely with families to ensure each student feels seen, supported, and set up for success. We believe parents are partners in the learning process.
👪 Give Your Child the Head Start They Deserve
A new school year is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a fresh start, a chance to build confidence, and a key step in your child’s academic journey. Why leave that up to chance?
When you enroll early:
• You avoid last-minute stress
• You give your child time to get excited and prepared
• You get early access to orientation and school updates
• And most importantly—you secure a spot before classes fill

Ashley Smith was born and raised in Provo, where she spent much of her childhood in restaurants. Her mother worked as the banquet manager at Sundance, and after school, Ashley would head up the mountain to ski until the slopes closed then help set up for banquets.
Her passion for hospitality deepened when her family opened a fine dining restaurant. There, she learned a bit of everything and worked as a server while earning her bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Psychology from Utah Valley University.
After graduating, Ashley served as a lunch manager in the Provo School District for 13 years before joining Athenian. She enjoys supporting students through nutritious meals in an environment that’s more predictable and rewarding than the traditional restaurant industry.
Ashley is married and the proud mother of an amazing autistic son, which has fueled her deep passion for supporting and advocating for children with special needs. She strongly believes that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and well-fed.
