Yes, we are recognized by the government of Curaçao as a private school. We are accredited through the International Association of Learner Driven Schools (IALDS). Acton Academy is Cognia Accredited (the same as Curacao American Prep School). Every learner will graduate with formal credentials.
We are a private school for young people ages 3.5-18. We admit young people up to age 14 as we build our high school.
We respect and incorporate Maria Montessori’s philosophy, but we are not a Montessori school. In addition to Montessori methods, we use the latest interactive technologies, hands on projects and the Socratic Method for discussions.
We do not have grade levels based on age. Instead, we have mixed-age groups within our Spark studio (age 4-7), Discovery studio (age 7-12), middle studio (11-14) and in 2026/27, a high school studio (14-18).
We believe that children learn best when working with children younger and older than themselves rather than split up into groups based solely on age. In addition to individualized curriculum, all ages of students work together in groups.
We have had multiple families approved for tuition reimbursement with the Dutch Ministry of Defense. Please connect with us to explore your particular situation and next steps.
Our Academy hours are Monday-Thursday from 8:30am-2:30pm and Friday from 8:30am - 1:30pm. Dropoff is between 8:00am-8:30am. To provide the highest level of service and standards in our first year, we will not offer after-school care in 2024/25.
We are not trained to serve children with serious learning disabilities but have been able to serve young people that are able to work independently.
We know you likely have many questions for us. Please email Tracey Howard, Head of School, to ask your questions and to request a 1:1 exploration meeting to learn more: tracey@actoncuracao.com
