"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
- Plutarch 46-127 A.D.
GROWING UP IS A JOURNEY
When parents bring a child into their family, it is a monumental event--one filled with hope, aspirations and maybe even some trepidation. How do you teach your child to live a joyful life? How do you prepare them to overcome the challenges that life brings? How do children create their own identities and develop critical social skills? This is where the Antioch School excels.
Children at Antioch School are met where they are. They walk their own learning path, as fast and as far as it may go, yet there are always encouraging friends and teachers nearby. Each person is trusted as a learner and valued as an important voice in the community, where we discover new roads together. We invite you to come with us on this journey of discovery.

In Their Own Words
Testimonials from former Antioch School students and family members. To read all the testimonials, please click here.
"Antioch School provided me not only with the educational foundation needed to thrive in academics, but also, and arguably more importantly, to thrive in life. By that I mean, Antioch instilled in me values such as the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and leadership. The School shaped my humanistic and cosmopolitan values, and instilled in me a love of learning. There is no better way to spend money, than on your child’s education. The money my family spent on my education at Antioch is the unquestionably the best money they ever spent on me.”
“My Antioch School experience has been an extremely useful tool in navigating life beyond elementary school. The fundamental problem solving skills I learned were cultivated in a unique environment where I had the freedom to apply them. The ways in which other Antioch School graduates and I have learned to resolve conflict while at The Antioch School noticeably sets us apart from our peers. The Antioch School has cultivated my sense of self-direction, which I see as priceless gift. I am so very grateful to my teachers at The Antioch school for all the tools they have provided me with in life.” - Ben was an honors student, studying biology at The Ohio State University at the time he submitted this testimonial.
"I remember teachers and projects that allowed me creative and intellectual freedom to pursue my interests. I tell people it was a lot like being in a college for elementary school kids. The years I spent at Antioch fostered a love of learning, an appreciation for the outdoors, and introduction to the fine arts, including music and theater."
“The Antioch School encouraged my curiosity, taught me to be myself, and showed me how to resolve conflicts with other people. The teachers are amazing people who cared not only for my academic learning, but also for my growth as a child. And of course, I must mention that without The Antioch School I never would have learned how to ride a unicycle.”
