Our daughter has attended Agathos for the past three years and is now in 5th grade. I cannot fathom her being in a different school. The class sizes are great, the culture is outstanding, and they are helping us raise our daughter into a thoughtful, intelligent person. I learned the other day that a friend in Maury County (2 grades above) is completing her first book report. With Agathos, the number has been 2 per quarter since the second grade. She is in her third year of Latin. The headmaster, Ted Trainer, is wonderful and communicative. The graduates I know from Agathos are also well-rounded young men and women. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to others. A bonus...Agathos is a fraction of the cost of some of the Davidson and Williamson County Schools, yet competes with them academically.
