OUR STUDENTS LOVE
TO GET OUTSIDE! We get outside. We look for opportunities to take our learning out of the classroom and in to the fresh air. We aren't afraid to get dirty while we learn through play. Our youngest learners spend 1.5-3 hours outside a day and our elementary studios average 1-1.5 hours!

Acton Academy Lincoln Mom
We've seen so much growth out of both of our kids. It's been fun to see our son really take an interest in reading, take initiative and work independently.
We couldn't be happier that our kids go to Acton, and more importantly, they love it too!

Our girls were doing well within the public education system however there is no comparison to the growth we’ve seen after starting Acton. They do a fantastic job creating a learner driven environment, that cultivates important life skills, in a fun and meaningful way!
