Join us!! One of Americas most innovative schools, Acton Academy, is opening a new location in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on January 20th, 2023. There are nearly 300 Acton Academies worldwide, including locations in 27 countries. The innovative approach and hands-on learning environment at Acton Academy truly differentiate the school and its approach to educating the future generation.Acton Academy is known as a microschool that evolved out of homeschooling and is in between private schools and homeschools. Acton Academy offers an environment of no more than 150 students in grades K-12 where learners can explore, create, and grow to develop the character, knowledge, and skills needed for the real world. This location plans to have roughly 60 students, with future plans of opening a second location in the Palm Beach area.
My decision to join the world’s fastest-growing microschool network and open Acton Academy arose when concerns of my children losing their passion for learning and creativity in traditional school grew. I want my children to love learning while feeling empowered to leave their mark on the world, says Tyson Junkers, founder at Acton Academy Palm Beach.
Acton Academy puts character and leadership skills at the forefront of every childs education and considers that one of the many differentiators when compared to the traditional approach to education.
Various ages of children learn together in a single studio. The guides responsibility is to put as many decisions, big or small, into the hands of every learner to build personal responsibility, give creative freedom, and, ultimately, have them take their first step in the pursuit of their lifes purpose. Acton Academy has a major emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning. The small studio sizes combined with these other factors make for a highly personalized education. Every child at Acton Academy builds character and skills like critical thinking, resilience, failing forward, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills.
Traditional schools are known for their test-taking and rows of desks with a teacher at the blackboard. Meanwhile, Acton Academy takes an innovative approach to learning by working collaboratively, like at the world’s leading technology companies, and learners learn fundamental skills which they can then apply when learning by doing. At Acton Academy, everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a student, which is something that makes the school unique and a positive step forward in the world of education.
The reviews of parents are noteworthy as well. Here is a review from one of the parents whose daughter attended Acton Academy. “The fact that Acton demands excellence and mastery is the only reason our daughter could even dream of applying to a top university. At Acton, she was not handicapped by being a late bloomer. She has had both the room to find herself and the accountability to rise up. Acton is the place she has learned to find and be her best self.
The ribbon cutting will take place at 12pm.
