At Acton Academy Marietta we’re big fans of the 4 C’s of 21st century skills.
- Communication - Collaboration - Critical Thinking - Creativity While we may not know the exact jobs or careers that will be in demand a decade from now, we do know what skills young people need to develop today that will prepare them to thrive in that uncertain future. We hone these skills with daily Socratic discussions, real-world projects, and an emphasis on developing strong Character, Community, and Competency.

We're excited to announce our new location conveniently located right next to the KSU campus in Kennesaw! Our new space offers room to grow, a place for Exhibitions, and space for four separate studios - including our newly launched high school program! We're excited for opportunities to connect with KSU as well. The school year is underway with game-based core skills, Socratic discussions, and exciting new hands-on projects. Click here to schedule a time for a call to get questions answered and to schedule a personal tour to see our new space and what we're up to! This is fascinating research about how our mindset and perception of the people around us affects their potential and performance. The Pygmalion Effect reflects the Acton belief that every child is a genius! Microschools like Acton Marietta growing like wildfire around the country!
This week, The Hill explored what microschools are and what they're like around the country. Check it out here. |
