What is Acton Academy?
Google shares information, Uber shares cars, and Airbnb shares rooms. What if children could share learning with each other in a tightly bound community with extremely high standards of excellence, becoming convinced that they could, and knowing that they would, find a deep burning need in the world, that matches the deep burning need in their heart?
Welcome to Acton Academy, a learner driven community that founded on the belief that every person who enters our doors is a Hero, on a Hero's journey who deserves to find a calling that will change the world. If you want to join a revolution, you've come to the right place.
