Children are not identical — and education shouldn’t be either. Alternative systems like Acton’s offer flexibility, deep community, and personal responsibility. Families choose us because they want more than grades — they want growth.

​

Here, learning is self-paced, mastery-based, and rooted in character. Kids gain the tools to lead themselves and contribute meaningfully to others.
