 Step 1: Learn About Acton

​Interested? We encourage prospective families to get to know the Acton model before beginning the inquiry and admissions process. 

​
Take your time in thoroughly reviewing our website to familiarize yourself with our learning environment.  Most families who have gone through our inquiry process have shared that a deep dive into Acton's resources was very beneficial in learning about the model and preparing them for next steps.
​
You can find additional resources about the Acton model and its influences here. 
You can also check out this video interview​ with one of Acton Network's Founders that gives a great overview of the Acton model and what parents and learners can expect from this new way of "doing school".
