Whole Body Wellness

At Acton Academy Marietta, we're interested in strengthening not just our academic minds, but also in pursuing whole body wellness. Acton Eagles actively engage in practices that encourage and promote growth of their physical and mental selves.

Below are few ways our learners explore whole-being wellness.

Outdoor Time & Recess

With two 30-minute recesses per day for our older Eagles and 2+ hours of outside time for our Eaglets, AAM has made fresh air and outdoor play a priority. Check out the Spark Studio page to learn more about our Loose Parts play for our youngest learners.

Individual & Group Fitness

Eagles earn badges for personal and group fitness. Individual fitness involves setting and meeting personal goals. Group fitness involves fitness and sports quests to explore athletics and fitness as a community.

Mindfulness & Meditation

We begin each morning with mindfulness and a personal meditation time. This is a calming way to start the day and a nice time to enjoy peaceful community energy together.

Character Building

In our learner-driven studios, the Eagles have daily opportunities to put into practice lessons on building strong character, developing interpersonal skills, and Eagle-led conflict resolution. Soft skills such as these are vital in today's rapidly-changing world.

Care for the Earth

Acton Academy Marietta is committed to being as sustainable and waste-free as possible.  Care for our Earth is an ongoing conversation across the studio with the Eagles and Eaglets on the lookout for additional ways for AAM to continue to go green!

Cooking & Meal Planning

We all know our bodies need healthy food along with fresh air and exercise! Beginning in ES, the Eagles have the opportunity to participate in our "Chef For A Day" program.  Our learners take turns planning a meal and, with the help of an adult, cook the meal as a group.
