our Elementary Studio is Unique to other Private School Options

The Discovery Studio offers a safe, caring, and warm environment where young children thrive. The studio is arranged by learning areas: building and design, computers, manipulatives, core skills, library, and writing. The daily schedule and routines include a balance of indoor and outdoor activity time, plenty of time to play, which by the way, we feel is SUPER important to a child's development. Children are encouraged to think, reason, question, develop ideas, experiment, and problem solve, as well as make choices and display independence. Kindness and developing good character is a cornerstone in all we do. Navigating the challenges of friendship or learning to identify and express emotions, at Acton Lincoln, the intellectual, social, and emotional life of each child is honored.
