For Ages 5–7

Ignite Studio

Growing Curiosity
Ignite Studio at Acton Academy

In this studio, children are encouraged to explore and play, allowing their natural curiosity to ignite learning. Through play they develop vital character traits and social skills — kindness, empathy, honesty, critical thinking, teamwork, responsibility, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and the joy of learning.

Inspired by Montessori principles and Socratic teaching methods, our Ignite Studio is a holistic environment that aims to stimulate children's minds, spirits, and bodies as they figure out the world around them and their place in it.

For Ages 8–11

Discovery Studio

Discovering a Love of Learning

Students in the Discovery Studio focus on bravery, resourcefulness, independence, growth mindset, S.M.A.R.T. goals, hard work, accountability, teamwork, leadership, care for their environment, and personal passions.

By giving students choice, autonomy, and high expectations for growth, we harness intrinsic motivation as the engine for academic excellence. Through hands-on projects they develop real-world skills, simultaneously learning what their true passions are and how they want to use them to change the world.

Developing Work Ethic
Explore Studio at Acton Academy

We believe each of our students will find a passion — something they love and have a gift to do. Finding and pursuing this gift we call the Hero's Journey.

Our mission is to equip our students with the skills and tools they will need to find and pursue their life's purpose. During these transformative years, we inspire our young people to develop independent thinking, strong friendships, leadership skills, and pursue their work with integrity.

For Ages 15–18

Adventure Studio

Preparing for the Next Great Adventure!

Adventure students focus on real work: finding a calling, mastering the skills it demands, and testing themselves against real deadlines and real audiences. Along the way they build the habits that carry into adulthood — self-governance, persuasive writing and public speaking, entrepreneurial and financial know-how, and full ownership of their own learning.

Through apprenticeships, students work alongside mentor entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, and heroes in the field they're passionate about. They launch startups, businesses, and projects of their own, honing their skills and talents while building a portfolio of real-world experience that speaks for itself.
