Our Story
Founded in 1998 around a single long table
Plato Academy began with eleven students, three teachers and a conviction: that children learn best when they are asked real questions and trusted to answer them. The first classes met around a single long table in a rented hall, reading Homer aloud and arguing about what courage really means.
Today the Academy serves more than four hundred students across three schools. The table is larger, the library has a colonnade and the laboratories are new, but the conversation has not changed. Our teachers still begin with wonder, and our students still leave knowing how to think, how to listen and how to begin.
