Page 9 - Acton Info Kit

The people are the best part of Acton Academy. The online

Owner Discussion Forum is rich in on-the-ground experiences
the with ongoing threads each day. We’ve found that schools

people experience similar issues across the network, so if you run into

a problem or find something that really works, someone else is

likely in the same boat.

What Acton does better than anyone else in the world is build

the a “studio” (the Acton version of a classroom) where young

people lead. The tools to build student-led studios are
systems available to new Acton schools — goal setting, Socratic

discussions, studio maintenance, studio contracts, Eagle Bucks,

our software platform, etc.

The biggest time-savers in the kit are the plug-and-play
the Quests or projects developed over the years, the writing

curriculum challenges, and civilization discussion material – all play-tested

with Eagles in Austin.
