Ivy Greene - An Acton Academy

OUR STORY

"PARENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE FINDING THEMSELVES DRAWN TO THE CORE BELIEFS OF ACTON ACADEMY."

OUR EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

We were parents just like you - searching for the answer to our children's education.

We believe self-directed, peer-to-peer, learner-driven communities built by our young heroes will deliver transformational learning at a cost all parents can afford.

We believe that:

Clear thinking leads to good decisions
Good decisions lead to the right habits
The right habits forge character
Character determines destiny

Why We Started A School

We always hoped our kids’ education would set them up for their life’s journey equipping them with real-world skills and good values.

When our kids experienced traditional school, our goal was they’d have a learning experience that was inspiring and relevant. We hoped they’d be fully equipped with the real-world skills and good character they’d need to pursue a meaningful life.

Well…that didn’t happen. Instead of learning the stuff that really matters, our kids were left feeling frustrated by the experience. All of us were left believing there had to be a better way to do school.

That’s why we started Ivy Greene : An Acton Academy in 2020.

Our dream was to create an environment where meaningful skills are taught through real-world scenarios. Where good character gets rewarded, and where developing a problem-solving mindset is the goal instead of an afterthought.

Our dream of helping our children succeed in a school setting has grown from 14 students to 43 learners.

If you want to see Acton in action, please book a tour. We look forward to meeting you!
