What is a Quest?
Quests are big projects that include more than one learner, up to the whole school. They can last for 1-6 weeks, and include multiple daily lessons spanning different topics that cumulate into a learning experience that is both fun and memorable. We like Quest work because it solidifies concepts for learners, and it provides proof of mastery (way more fun than a standardized test)!
Examples of Quests

School Lip Dub
Planning an Exhibition
Conflict Resolution
Declaration of Acton
Entomology Exploration
Entrepreneurship

IS YOUR FAMILY READY FOR ACTON?
This unique method of learning is drastically different from the traditional model of education, especially that of public school. While many learners flourish here, it's not the right school for everyone. Families must be 100% committed and ready for a change. What type of learners and parents fit best?
