Taking Control Of Your Education

Welcome to the Adventure Studio

Our learning environment is nurturing, and we provide a variety of academic offerings, technology, entrepreneurship, physical education, film, art, community service, and leadership opportunities.

We Believe Middle School Is A Time To Build Character, Seek Independence, And Gain An Understanding Of Self And Others.​

Throughout student’s experiences in the Navigation Studio, they are supported in navigating the world around them, making new and long-lasting friendships, obtaining new skills, and growing as unique young men and women of character..

As A School, We Place Great Value On Preparing Our Students Not Only For High School But Also For A World Beyond School.

We believe in the education of the whole person—inside and outside of the studio—and encourage students to develop intellectually as well as into citizens of good character.

​All students engage in experiential learning expeditions we call Quests as well as apprenticeships.

Participating in a Quest allows a student to explore a topic in-depth using a variety of hands-on experiences. For example, during our Medical Biology Quest, students visit the local hospital, connect with medical professionals, and participate in real-world medical simulations, putting them in the shoes of a physician. Quests help students learn about potential careers they might be interested in as well as develop lasting skills such as the ability to work as a team, develop creative solutions, and set and achieve goals.

​Role Of The "Teacher"

We believe the learning experience is much richer when the teacher (“Guide”) offers insightful questions and facilitates hands-on learning. Guides use the Socratic method, always responding to students’ questions with new questions. This exchange hones students’ critical thinking skills. No boring sit in your desk teacher-led lecture-style learning at Acton!

Apprenticeships

We believe in the power of apprenticeships. Beginning in middle school, our students obtain summer internships in a field they are passionate about. Acton students have interned with doctors, entrepreneur bakers, plumbers, attorneys and graphic designers. What will your child choose?
