A Journey of Discovery, Not Just a School

We empower children to find their calling through a learner-driven journey that replaces traditional lectures with hands-on quests and character building.

Our Three-Part Learning Model

A balanced approach to build confident, capable learners.

Through goal setting, exploration, and access to various learning tools, Eagles develop curiosity and grow into independent lifelong learners.

Learn to Do

Hands-on projects, Socratic discussions, and self-paced challenges bring the world into the studios, helping Eagles develop relevant skills and tools for success in the evolving future.

Launchpad Launching 2027-28

How long is Acton in session each year?

We operate on an eleven month calendar, but our flexible program allows families to travel together during the year, without sacrificing any learning.

What is an “Independent Learner”?

Someone who can research questions, follow instructions, solve problems—admit that they don't know something and figure out a solution when they hit a roadblock without asking an adult for help — participate in discussions, and strive for mastery.

Does Acton serve special needs children?

We are not trained to serve children with serious learning disabilities but have been able to serve young heroes with dyslexia if they receive special training and believe that many minor learning disabilities are commonly misdiagnosed.

What do you mean by “Every child can change the world?”

We believe each of our students will find a passion — something they love and have a gift to do. They will use this gift to serve others and fulfill a need they are passionate about in the world. This may be by becoming a shoe-shiner who tells stories and makes people's day just by doing his job with love and vigor; it may be by becoming a coach who sees the light in a child’s eyes and guides her to pursue a dream; it may be by becoming a father or mother who leads a family on a Hero's Journey; it may be becoming an entrepreneur or business leader guided by compassion and integrity; or it may be by becoming an artist or writer who brings beauty to people's lives.
