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. 

Hi! We’re the Ashley family, and our Acton story begins like most Acton owners' stories - we wanted more from school for our children. We wanted our children to love learning and realize their full potential through their schooling experience. We wanted more than the antiquated model we ourselves just “muddled through” and never fully engaged with. We wanted them to be excited for and ready to join the "real world" when school ended. Our hope was that we could find a school that would help a child flourish and thrive academically but also emotionally and socially. 

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. We invite your family to join our community for a new adventure in education!

As Acton owners, we promise through Socratic guiding and experiential learning to encourage each member of our community to:

Begin a Hero’s Journey
Discover precious gifts and a commitment to mastery
Become a curious, independent, lifelong learner
Embrace the forging of a strong character
Celebrate differences among people 
Cherish the arts, the physical world, and the mysteries of life
