FAMILIES
"Are you curious?"
What parents fit best at Acton Academy?
edited925c_edited_edited.jpg
  • Evoke parents embrace Acton Academy ideology and believe in the power of learner-driven education

  • Evoke parents let go of the reigns so children can explore life to find their calling, even if that means a child stumbles, falls, gets scratched up by a tree, or fails at giving their first speech.

  • We let our children learn from their mistakes and embrace failure as a chance to improve and try again. 

  • Evoke parents let their children learn to handle their own conflicts, upsets, and disappointments at school.

  • Evoke parents enjoy get togethers, and are excited to keep learning and discover their own Hero’s journey by attending at least two events per year.

  • Evoke parents do not lean on guides to be personal tutors or therapists

  • Evoke parents see the bigger picture when it comes to the future and education.

  • We are not focused on the name of the college our child will get into or the sports teams they will join. There are plenty of traditional schools that offer the typical, basic school experience. We are not basic or typical in any way. 

  • Evoke parents are welcoming to others, no matter our differences.

  • We are united by the pursuit of better education for our children. 

  • We celebrate the wins (both small and large)!

What learners fit best at Acton Academy?
  • Evoke Eagles are capable of taking care of themselves (like going to the restroom, preparing a snack, or getting water without being told what to do or how to do it).

  • They have responsibilities at home, and enjoy being a helper at home and at school. 

  • They have a strong curiosity about the world around them. They stop to look at interesting bugs or plants, listen to curious noises, or notice things in the sky.

  • They embrace teamwork, cooperate well with others, and like to be around other children. 

  • They find more interest in the real world than on digital devices.

  • When presented with freedom, they are capable of making good choices.

  • They are creative and imaginative, eager to engage in stories and playground games. 

What guides fit best at Acton Academy?
  • Evoke guides are educators who can stand back with patience and calm while learners organize themselves in group activities and self-governance.

  • Evoke guides put personal discomfort aside and resist the urge to step in and lecture children. We want the learners to discover the world through their own eyes.

IS YOUR FAMILY READY FOR ACTON?
This unique method of learning is drastically different from the traditional model of education, especially that of public school. While many learners flourish here, it's not the right school for everyone. Families must be 100% committed and ready for a change. What type of learners and parents fit best?
