Acton is everything we have been looking for and more! We believe our children can accomplish anything they set their minds to—and Acton does to. They help propel them forward with guided questions and encourage the student to find the answer for themselves.

We have a part time kindergartener at Acton, and we have been so happy with our experience. We have seen huge growth in so many areas, and cannot wait to see him continue to thrive in the community.

​So, so, so happy.

If you want your child to develop a love for learning and embrace what makes them unique this is the school for you. They have truly mastered the art of helping kids develop a love for learning. If you value sitting at a desk all day, and conformity then this probably isn’t the right fit for you.

We love Acton Academy. It has inspired our child to be more capable and be inspired to learn. We love the mission, feeling, and environment that is here.It inspires and empowers them, teaching them how to learn and how to question the world to find an answer.

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!
