JOY + RIGOR = Mastery

"Embracing rigor is part of saying 'yes' to a Hero's Journey. Deep learning brings a special sense of joy, but the mastery required for a Hero's Journey goes even further, requiring commitment, discipline and hard work towards a worthy goal."

Self-paced mastery of reading, writing, and math skills

through deliberate practice and the latest in educational technology

Critical thinking and powerful writing and speaking

through deep Socratic discussions about heroes, history, and self-governance

Real-world tools and skills

through hands-on project-based Quests

Authentic relationships

through written promises and convenants that form a tightly bound community led by Eagles

Socratic Guiding

Acton Academy has no teachers. Instead, we have Guides and use the Socratic Method, originated from Socrates, the Greek philosopher. He responded to learners’ questions with new questions. This exchange honed students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Aligning to our Learning Philosophy, we question to ignite Clear Thinking. This questioning guides learners to act, develop habits, and character.

Children's Business Fair

We try to host a yearly business fair to allow young hero’s a chance to work hard and have real world success (either in profits or lessons learned).
