Acton Academy
The Acton Academy is a unique network of learner-driven micro-schools, founded by educators, innovators and parents, and originated in Austin, Texas. Its mission is to ‘inspire each child and parent to find a calling that will change the world.’
The ‘Acton model’ is based on self-directed learning and peer feedback—older students help younger students set and monitor goals.
“Learning to Do and to Be” is considered more important than “Learning to Know.”
