Traditional System

Acton Academy

Follow a set curriculum, whether exciting or not

Authoritative figures set rules to abide by

Grades gauge learning and then students move on, whether concepts are full understood or not

Missed opportunities to learn essential skills needed for today's challenges

Evenings of frustration and lost time due to homework

Must move at the same pace as peers

Your child will find joy and become a lifelong learner by discovering his/her passions, which fuels learning

Together, children create provisional contracts that govern their learning

Socratic (thought provoking) discussions, entrepreneurial ventures, leadership roles, collaborative skills, hands-on challenges

NO HOMEWORK - regain lost time and start enjoying evenings with your family

Your child will move at his/her own pace. On average, Acton students progress 3-grade levels above peers in a traditional setting

Told where to be, what to study, and when to stop/start

Your child will learn to self regulate, manage time and take responsibility for their own learning.

Concepts are master before your child moves forward, creating confidence and a solid foundation to continue to build upon

Testimonials

SANDY YAKLIN

“The fact that Acton demands excellence and mastery is the ONLY reason our daughter could even dream of applying to a top university. At Acton, she was not handicapped by being a ‘late bloomer.’ She has had both the room to find herself and the accountability to rise up.”

CHARLIE AND PAM MADERE

“The Acton community and life experience provide our son the best possible environment in which to develop. You empower kids to an unparalleled degree. We truly believe this, relative to all other educational options. Every Acton parent goes to sleep each night thankful for the opportunity to be in this moment.”

SUSANNAH HOLLINGER

“Our daughter was showing signs of depression before attending Acton Academy. She is now happy and thriving, in large part because of the Acton way of learning. Now, she loves school so much that she never wants to miss a day.”
