The Acton Academy experience immerses learners in real-life situations in ways that allow them to build the social, emotional, and executive skills needed to make a difference in the world. We guide students to develop personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, responsibility, kindness and empathy. Whether it’s setting up rules for the studio, holding a friend accountable during group work, leading a studio maintenance team, or reflecting on missing their math goal, students are constantly exercising and honing life skills.
