The Elementary studio develops a foundation of learning and discovery through personalized Core Skills, exploratory real-world quest projects, Socratic discussions, and play. 

Acton Academy uses a flexible education approach where each student has their own learning plan and progresses after mastery, not after the grade they have been assigned or at the pace of the teacher. 

Teachers are called Guides and are just that — Socratic in nature and not the dispensers of facts and expectations. As a learner-driven studio, the guide plays a small role and the heroes play a big role. Children are at the center of their learning, allowing them to create and maintain personal goals and relational covenants.

Acton Academy’s accredited, highly acclaimed learning approach is very different from traditional learning. We focus on skill development, such as critical thinking, conflict resolution, problem solving, and project management. For the rapidly changing, complex world that our heroes will enter, skill development is more important than content regurgitation.
