With no homework, no tests, and no busy work, Acton schools have created a 21st-century place of learning where young people can THRIVE by cultivating the skills needed for the real world in a learner-led environment among peers of mixed ages, learning from and collaborating with each other to build both character and community.

What makes Acton Marietta different?

Our Mission
Prepare learners to hear a call to adventure, start a Hero’s Journey,
and pursue a calling to change their world.

Our Educational Philosophy
Clear thinking leads to good decisions,
good decisions lead to the right habits,
the right habits forge character,
and character determines destiny.

The Hero's Journey
As humans, we crave a life that means something to the world.
This beckons us to The Hero's Journey.

Learners at Acton are Heroes -
They take responsibility for choices, get back up after falling down, and refuse to quit, even when it's hard.
They know why they are being challenged to learn, to master, to apologize, to forgive, to discuss.
They are doing so because it's part of their Hero's Journey - to find the greatest treasures, their inner gifts,
and hone them in order to solve a burning need in their community, city, or world.

Acton Academy Marietta firmly believes that every human being, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or religion 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.
