The Athena School is an independent, co-educational school for Preschool to Year 10 students located in Newtown, an inner western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The teaching approaches of the school are based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard's. The school is registered by the (NSW Board of Studies ) and is a member of the (Association of Independent Schools ). The school is notable for being the only Study Tech school in the area that claims a 1:15 (or below) teacher-to-student ratio.〔()〕 The school is affiliated with the Church of Scientology with teachings based on L. Ron Hubbard's philosophy of education, centered on overcoming the fundamental barriers that prevent one from fully comprehending one’s studies. Per their website, the school states, "The Athena School is licensed under Applied Scholastics International to utilise the educational philosophy of author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. As he is also the founder of Scientology, there can be some assumption that The Athena School is a religious school when we are not. The Athena School does not promote any one religion. Our students learn tolerance and respect in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." Since 2007, all teachers are registered with the (Institute of Teachers ). The Athena School follows the guidelines set out by the NSW Board of Studies in its curriculum.〔http://www.athena.nsw.edu.au/curriculum/〕 In March 2010 the Greens New South Wales party lodged an official complaint about the school to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission due to an advertising leaflet which fails to reveal the school's link to Scientology. The Principal of the school said the Applied Scholastics study method did not teach the Scientology religion, "We follow the Board of Studies curriculum. We use the study method of L. Ron Hubbard. It is a method of study, it is not teaching Scientology." == See also == *Scientology in Australia * List of non-government schools in New South Wales 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Athena School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
