Learn
Through Socratic discussions, personal goal setting, critical thinking, and adaptive technology, our heroes are equipped to be independent lifelong learners.

Learner-Driven Community
Learner-driven communities run by heroes-in-the-making.
Acton Academy Port St. Lucie is the Treasure Coast's only learner-driven "microschool" that believes every child is a true genius.
Self-management and self-governance are celebrated daily by learners who use 21st-century skills to tackle real-world projects, inspired by classic heroes in a tightly bound community with extremely high standards.
High standards of Kindness & Accountability.
At Acton, we believe that learning to learn, do, and be are more important than memorizing for tests. Clear thinking leads to good decisions, good decisions form the right habits, habits form character, and character determines destiny.
Do
Whether it's by launching a business, creating a living habitat, programming a robot, or learning an instrument, Acton learners build real-life skills in the studio every day.
Be
Personal virtues such as honesty, grit, responsibility, kindness, and empathy are developed through community relationships and conflict resolution.
Acton is not a school, it's…
We asked parents how they would fill in the blank.
"Acton is not a school; it's a door. Once opened, the journey will never be the same."
Jessica
Rose's mom
"Acton is not a school, it's a village! A creative learning village, that helps shape our next generation into being Free Thinkers, accountable for their actions and their paths. […] It provides a space for our young heroes to inspire each other and for the parents of these heroes to be able to help build a community of Passionate, Imaginative, Hardworking, Focused, Compassionate and Kind leaders that will guide world changes."
Christine
Brynnley's mom
"Acton is not a school, it's a way of living. It's preparing your child for the real world by giving them the necessary tools in their tool belt to navigate life. It teaches them kindness, empathy, responsibility, and accountability. […] [T]hese are experiences and teachings that will shape them and follow them for the rest of their lives."
Nicole
Emma's mom
"Acton is like a dream because it lets you be whoever you want to be while changing, falling, evolving, getting back up again, socializing and learning until you are ready to thrive and wake up to make it real."
Dany
Agustina, Mia & Bianca's mom
"Acton is not a school. It is a safe and supportive environment designed to cultivate holistic personal growth because traditional schools often fall short in teaching the essential skills needed to navigate life and build meaningful relationships with others."
Angie
Ben & Amelia's mom
"Acton is not a school, it's a way of life. It's teaching even the smallest child that they matter and that they are in control of their own hero's journey. It's a family. A community of people who are there for each other, and who all believe that the traditional system doesn't work and that their children deserve to be more than a cog in the system."

Lydia & Addison's mom
