What if the purpose of education
was to guide children to find a calling and change the world?
Everything would look different.
Acton Academy Marietta is more than a place to learn.
It's a quest to begin a Hero's Journey -
to discover one's greatest gifts and the grand wonders of the world.
Acton Academy Marietta firmly believes that every human being, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. has infinite potential, and deserves to find a calling and change the world.
We engage our Eagles in Socratic dialogue, inviting differing perspectives, challenging our own biases, and seeking not to be right, but to have learned something new about the human experience; we foster responsibility, ownership, and empathy in our learners, to encourage them to take action when things are not right and treat others with dignity and respect.
The Hero's Journey is for all.

"Acton Academy is grounded in trusting children and believing they can handle big responsibilities. Through the ambiguity and messiness of life and learning, we see children rise up and embrace the mindset of heroes - people who take responsibility for their choices, get back up after falling down, and refuse to quit, even when it's hard. We see children learning how to learn and loving it."
