Our Approach
Learners develop 21st century skills that focus on learning to learn, learning to do, and learning to be:
- Adaptive online, game-based and self-paced programs (such as Khan Academy) for core skills like math, reading comprehension, grammar, and spelling
- Twice-daily Socratic discussions to strengthen critical-thinking
- Hands-on, real-world projects that solve real problems
- Public exhibitions including a Children's Business Fair every 6 weeks
- Life-changing apprenticeships from age 12 to 18

Spark Studio (ages 4-7)
Spark Studio provides an authentic, Montessori-inspired environment that taps into the inherent love for learning, innate curiosity, and creativity within each learner.
Spark Studio lays the groundwork for reading, math, science, citizenship, and independent learning skills, preparing young individuals to excel in the Elementary Studio.
Discovery Studio (ages 7-12)
In the Discovery Studio Learners accept their calling of a hero’s journey and embark on an adventure of learning and self-discovery.
Through the mastery of foundational core skills, engaging introductory Socratic discussions, collaborative teamwork, and immersive real-world quests, our learners delve into the realms of arts, sciences, history, and the natural world.
Middle School & High School Studios
In August 2024, we launched our new location with an Elementary school studio ages 4-11.
Over the next six years, as the older cohort gets older, we will grow into a Middle School (age 12-14) and High School (age 14-18). By 2030, we will be a complete private school for children ages 4-18.
* IMPORTANT: Families must enroll their children in Acton Academy before the age of 11. We will only accept a limited number (less than 3) of 12-year-olds to enroll in 2025/26. This is to protect the founding learners' experience and the strong learner-driven studio culture they've built.
