The Athens Bible School education extends far beyond the daily classroom. Numerous clubs and organizations provide our students with opportunities to explore, experiment and grow in their areas of interest. Some of the clubs and organizations are involved in competitions on the state and national levels, and have won State and National championships. This provides our students with the healthy competition to work with diligence and excellence.
