Acton has been called the "Montessori meets Silicon Valley" school because we incorporate many of the great aspects of a Montessori education and combine that with modern, adaptive technology and project-based STEM challenges.
Acton
Academy Columbus is a private school that incorporates many
parts of a Montessori and Reggio Emilia education. In addition,
there are so many other aspects of Acton that turn learning upside
down:
Focus on the 4 Cs (Critical thinking, Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity)
Montessori principles to build independent learners
Socratic discussions to develop critical thinking skills
Personalized, self-paced, mastery-based learning
All of the above approaches to education are designed to give
learners exposure to real-life skills. The Acton holistic approach
focusing on learning to be, learning to do, and learning to learn.
This leads to a much more fulfilling Hero`s journey and carves a
path where learners find joy in learning which leads to lifelong
learning. But what truly separates Acton is that we are a
Learner-Driven school. Eagles drive their own learning vs. the
traditional approach of Teacher / State led curriculum. What does
that look like? It shows up in a lot of ways:
Eagles lead the morning discussion
Eagles set their own goals
Self-paced core skills
Peer-to-Peer learning
Studio governance:Creating / abiding by a learner-generated
contract
