What We DON'T Believe In...
-
Students sitting in rows of desks listening to lectures
-
Regurgitating information for standardized tests
-
Report cards to gauge learning
-
Factory-like school where one-size-fits-all
-
Pre-determined pace and materials
-
Lack of leadership responsibility
Are you a Montessori School?
YES and NO.
We support and use many Montessori practices. However, Acton Academy takes education a step further in preparing our next generation for today's challenges.
We add a Socratic dimension to our approach. This puts our heroes (aka students) in real world situations where there is not a right or wrong solution. Our heroes need to know what to do with today's readily available information and how to act responsibly with it.

Thoughts to Ponder
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
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.”
