We continually inspire and motivate our Eagles through examples of dedication, character, determination, hard work, and the success (in whatever form) that will bring.
Challenging
We encourage Eagles to leave their comfort zone, and embrace challenge, knowing that every effort has its reward.
Empowering
We empower Eagles to find and nurture their passions and develop a vision of who they want to be in the world.

Turning Education
Upside Down
No Tests
We believe proof of work is far more important than arbitrary testing. Badges, portfolios, and exhibitions display proof of skill.
No Grades
The end goal isn’t to get a good score on a test, it is to solve problems, analyze a moral dilemma, make difficult decisions, or persuade an audience.
No Homework
There is much to discover in the freedom of having time and space to explore, to play with friends, to write a book, to memorize a song, to compete in sports, or to master an artistic discipline.
"Our job is obvious: We need to get out of the way, shine a light, and empower a new generation to teach itself and to go further and faster than any generation ever has."
"Acton Academy is one of the most important education developments in the world."
"Acton Academy is on the leading edge of what it means to give students agency of their own learning."
