Athena Girls Program

"Athena Goddess of Wisdom" was known for her superb logic. The Greek goddess Athena is usually portrayed as one of the most benevolent goddesses. Her decisions were usually well-considered, highly ethical, and seldom motivated by self-interest. Not only the goddess Athena's decisions demonstrate her wisdom, but they revealed her great compassion as well.

The Athena Girls Program has been established in order to give young women of Bridgeport skills needed to succeed in a world that requires more scientific and technical knowledge, and rigorous academic preparation. This program is currently in place at CROSS and WINTHOP Schools.
