When your child joins the Acton Academy community, it’s not just your child who begins a new journey. It is an invitation for the family to begin their hero’s journey, too.
A common question we get is: “What are the main things parents can expect when they join Acton Academy?”. Here are some things you can expect when you begin your family’s journey:
A contract of promises:
We are a community grounded in promises to each other. During the application process, you have opportunities to review and discuss the parent contract. If you agree with it, get ready for a transformative and fun journey – not just for your child or teen but for your family.
Families feel more unity and purpose:
At some point, often early in the journey, your child will come home with something that may be particularly hard for you. This will be the moment of truth. Will you step in to solve the problem, breaking the parent contract? Or will you dig deep and trust your child to pick up the tools they learned in the studio to solve his/her own problem?
If you choose to uphold the contract, I promise you will experience an “aha” moment when you discover a new truth about your child’s potential and how they are taking ownership of their learning.
Mastery of lifelong skills:
Your child will feel honored and respected as they are granted space and time to learn for themselves. This is why most love coming to school every day.
As an Acton parent, you too will feel freer. Part of the Acton promise is that we won’t come between you and your child’s time. You won’t have a school telling you how many days per year your child has to be “present”. You won’t have school creeping into your home in the afternoons and weekends because of required homework.
