Acton Academy Marietta is 'school' re-imagined.

More than a just a private school, Acton Marietta has taken learning and turned it upside down!

Through our unique learning design, our young people are in the driver’s seat of their learning, which is self-paced and individualized, yet delivered with the camaraderie and collaboration of learning within a community of peers.


Are you looking for a different way to "do" school?

Instead of just surviving school, what if your child could truly THRIVE?

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.

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.
