An Acton Elementary Studio in our private school is like a close-knit neighborhood where learners tackle important work, solve problems, collaborate with peers, and engage in increasingly challenging games.
Elementary aged learners:
- Ask great questions.
- Have fun and welcome others.
- Set and track goals.
- Build a solid foundation in math, reading, writing, and Civilization.
- Explore, are curious, and develop a love of learning through hands-on project-based learning.
Acton Academy Middle School is where young heroes learn to work hard, tackle complex computational challenges; communicate clearly and persuasively and develop the passion and real-world skills needed to make a difference in the world.
Middle School learners:
- Master core skills (reading, writing, and math) through the latest technology.
- Develop critical thinking and an appreciation for heroes and history through Socratic discussions.
- Dive deeply into biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, finance and psychology through immersive quests and public exhibitions.

Launchpad (high school) is where learners prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, whether the next step is a selective college, launching their own business or a first job at SpaceX or Google.
Extraordinary young leaders spend time doing something they love to do; inspired by world class coaches and experts; having fun with friends as they create lifelong memories.
Launchpad heroes:
- Read deep literature; communicate clearly and powerfully; and tackle real world computational challenges.
- Wrestle with timeless moral dilemmas through Socratic discussions in Civilization and through studio governance.
