Our commitment is to guide young heroes in uncovering their distinct passions, talents, and callings.

An Education for the 21st Century
At Acton, we believe that learning to learn, do, and be are more important than memorizing for tests. We believe that clear thinking leads to good decisions, good decisions form the right habits, habits form character, and character determines destiny.
What skills do you need to change the world? Every day we put our Hero's in the shoes of doctors, designers, presidents, and builders, learning the skills and tools that other heroes have mastered. We call it a Quest.
The world is changing fast. The skills of tomorrow aren't the skills of today. Take with you a DIY toolbox of curiosity, grit, trial-and-error, joy, and perseverance. Our Heroes are equipped to be independent lifelong learners.
No other accomplishment matters unless you've built a life you're proud of. Have you become a good person? What relationships have you nurtured? What habits have become part of your character?
