Learning Commons
The Learning Commons is at the center of student and faculty collaboration, learning, research and knowledge construction at ACS Athens. This learning space provides our students and faculty with state of the art facilities, such as a Media studio, a Math and Science studio, a Writing/Research studio, an Incubator Zone of students’ creative ideas, and more. These spaces are staffed with professionals having expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Sciences, Writing, Research, Literacy, STEAM education, and Media Production. Students and faculty feel free and inspired to function - according to the school's vision - as "architects of their own learning" as they pursue their intellectual curiosities and materialize their own vision. As expressed by a faculty member, "the Learning Commons is becoming the heartbeat of education at ACS Athens."
