YOU MAY BE AN ACTON FAMILY IF....
You believe young people should be prepared for life, not just prepped for higher education after high school.
You desire your child to fall in love with learning instead of mastering memorization of facts for the sake of good test scores.
You fear a child's six hour day in the traditional classroom will create boredom and not encourage curiosity.
Your child loves hands-on learning over lecture-based instruction.
You value creativity, curiosity, and character development just as much as you value literacy, math, and writing skills.
You believe your child can grow without homework and frequent testing.
You desire your child to find their passion and also learn how to manage their time now instead of when they are 18.
