Hi!  We’re the Ashley family, and our Acton story begins like most Acton owners' stories - we wanted more from school for our children. As a former teacher and as a mom, I had frustrations about our education system. I wanted our children to love learning and realize their full potential through their schooling experience. I wanted more than the antiquated model my husband and I had just “muddled through” and never fully engaged with. Our hope was that our children would be excited for and ready to join the "real world" when school ended. 

The Acton model checked all the boxes for us and has been a vital part of not just our children’s growth but our family's Hero’s Journey as well. Our family has been involved in Acton Marietta for several years now and has found it to be a deeply meaningful learning experience for our children and a life-changing alternative to traditional education. We invite your family to join our community for a new adventure in education!
​
