What is a Hero's Journey?

We want to inspire you to use your most special gifts, in a way that brings great joy, to solve a deep burning need in the world. At Acton Academy, we call this a Hero’s Journey.

Will Acton help me get into college?

Our promise at Acton Academy is to have you well prepared for any selective university where you can score high enough on a standardized test to gain admittance.

Universities are changing so rapidly that it’s difficult to imagine what a college education will look like in ten years. Unfortunately, many colleges still place a great deal of importance on standardized tests, which are little more than IQ tests, and are difficult to improve on once you understand basic test taking tricks.

Once you get over the test taking barrier at the university of your choice, your portfolio and critical thinking skills will be a big boost during the application and interviewing process.

Most importantly, you’ll be well prepared to shine in the real world, whether you choose to go to college full time, part time or not at all.

What is the school calendar and what does Acton Academy cost?

Acton Academy runs eleven months a year, typically with five to seven week “sprints” followed by a week off.

Tuition for the 2021-22 school year is $10,973 payable in eleven monthly installments of $997. There is a $1,000 non-refundable enrollment fee upon acceptance. A small number of need-based scholarships are available annually but are already distributed for this year. (Tuition is subject to increases.)

May I take a tour?

In order to protect the learning environment of our Eagles, we do not offer tours or have meetings on campus during the school day; however, we do typically offer tours on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that you may sign up for on our website.
