WHAT IF CHILDREN ARE FAR MORE CAPABLE THAN WE IMAGINE?

Let’s RE-IMAGINE Education!
At Acton Academy Buckhead, children learn to learn, do and be. Our learner-driven studios replace lectures and worksheets with real-world projects, self-paced core skills, Socratic discussion and plenty of outdoor play.
We focus on character and agency rather than rote memorization. Every young hero grows into a curious, independent, lifelong learner, from our elementary studios through Launchpad, our high school program.
Because we believe that ALL children ARE capable!
Our studios
AGES 4–6 · PREK–1ST
Spark
Young learners build early reading, math and teamwork through hands-on quests and play.
AGES 7–11 · GRADES 2–5
Discovery
Learners master reading, writing and math at their own pace and launch hands-on quests about the real world.
AGES 12–14 · GRADES 6–8
Explorer
Learners take on bigger challenges, run their own projects and practice leading a community.
AGES 15–18 · GRADES 9–12
Launchpad
Teens build real work: apprenticeships, ventures and a portfolio that prepares them for college, career or both.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF SCHOOL
Traditional school
- Everyone moves at the same pace
- Adults make the decisions about learning
- Lessons follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum
- Kids learn to fear failure and comply
Acton Buckhead
- Each learner moves at their own pace
- Learners own decisions about their education
- Learning follows strengths, talents and real projects
- Kids embrace challenges and learn from failure
One of my favorite parts of the Acton Buckhead program is the concept of ‘Learning to Learn.’ Our child has the self-confidence and tools to learn anything.
