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.
We recommend either reading Acton founder, Laura Sandefer's, book Courage to Grow or watch Laura's interview with Dad Saves America or Laura's Interview with Dr. Mom. Both the book and the podcasts/video cover why and how the Acton schools came to be as well as the nuts and bolts of what an Acton education is like.
You can find additional resources about the Acton model and its influences here.
