We believe that each person who enters our doors deserves to find a calling that will change the world.
We promise, through socratic guiding and experiential learning, you and your child will:
Begin a hero's journey
Learn to be a curious, independent, lifelong learner.
Develop a deep respect for economic, political and religious freedoms.
Cherish the arts, wonders of the physical world and the mysteries of life on Earth.
Discover his or her most precious gifts and learn to use them to solve difficult problems.
See how Acton Academy is transforming education.
21st Century Learning
Self-paced mastery of reading, writing and math skills | Through deliberate practice and the latest in educational technology, learners spend a period of the day working on their core academic skills. Our youngest learners engage with hands-on learning resources to build a deep foundational understanding in literacy and math.
Real world tools and skills | Through hands on project based quests, learners build 21st century skills, including how to apply their core skills in useful ways.
Critical thinking and powerful writing and speaking | Through deep socratic discussions about heroes, history, current events, and self-governance, learners engage in critical thinking and build purposeful and effective communication skills.
Authentic relationships | Through community promises and daily group conversations, learners form a tightly bound community with their peers and guides.
Learners will join one of three studio tribes.
Spark Studio for children 4 to 7 years old.
Inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles, young learners explore their world through hands on projects, play based learning, and group conversation.
Discovery Studio for children 7 to 11 years old.
Young heroes find their life’s calling and tap into their unique genius. The learner’s educational experience ignites curiosity, creativity, and the ability to ask good questions and direct their own learning.
Adventure Studio for children 11 to 14 years old.
Learners will continue their hero’s journey as they deepen their thinking and collaboration skills. Learners will challenge each other to advance their core skills and further discover their passions and leadership ability as they face real world challenges and apprenticeships.
