Elementary Studio

(2nd – 5th Grade)

Where Curiosity Meets Mastery

Our Elementary Studio is where learners begin to dive deeper into their learning journey. Through a mix of self-paced learning, collaborative projects, and real-world challenges, learners build a strong foundation in reading, writing, and math while developing critical thinking and teamwork skills.

Elementary learners engage in Quests—hands-on, project-based learning experiences that teach problem-solving, creativity, and communication. Learners are empowered to take responsibility for their progress, set personal goals, and reflect on their learning journey.

Key highlights of the Elementary Studio:

  • Self-paced learning using the latest educational technology

  • Hands-on projects that bring learning to life

  • A supportive and close-knit learning community

Our goal is to help learners build confidence, master academic skills, and develop the mindset to take ownership of their learning.

“I’ve visited and studied hundreds of innovative models of schooling over the past decade, and Acton continues to be one of the most promising models…. Acton is a truly inspiring and exceptional school.”

— Bernard Bull

MASTERY vs. GRADES

Learners work at their own pace to achieve mastery in the core skills of reading, grammar, and math rather than to earn grades or pass tests. This personalized approach to learning allows them to zoom past topics they quickly grasp and to be more deliberate in other topics.

  1. Core skill and character development badges.

  2. Electronic and hard copy portfolios capture rough drafts, photos, video and other creative work.

  3. Public exhibitions at the end of most Quests allow young heroes to present work to experts, customers or the public for a real world test.

Do you believe in heroes?

Perhaps Acton is for you and your family.
