Have you heard the call to adventure?

Acton schools use the mono-myth of the Hero’s Journey to give a framework to the ups and downs of learning and of life in general. If you’re not familiar with the Hero’s Journey, check out this video on how we’re all a little like Harry Potter, Frodo, and Katniss Everdeen. 

As humans, we crave a life that means something to the world. This beckons us to The Hero's Journey. The Hero’s Journey is the story of an individual hero facing difficult challenges on a quest in a community in search of a worthy grail that changes the hero in the process. It is the time-tested tale of human development that has shaped civilization through the ages.

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.  
  

At Acton Marietta, you’ll find a community of learners, parents, and guides ready to act as allies, helpers, and mentors on the Hero’s Journey. The community is here to help everyone as they leave the ordinary world, face the road of trials, and return home changed.
