Acton Academy (Main Campus)

Full disclosure: I am the owner of an Acton school in El Salvador! I am incredibly grateful that we found Acton for our family, our community and our country of El Salvador. We are now in our third year of having an Acton school and have never looked back. Our own children and their school mates are empowered, happy, kind young people who have agency over their own lives, know themselves, and have the mindset and soft skills to turn their ideas into reality. I love going to work every day and making a difference in the world. Thank you Acton for disrupting education and supporting us on our journey to do the same!

As an Educational Psychologist and expert in Intelligence & Creativity, Jeff and Laura have created the optimum educational experience to nurture these gifts out of any self-motivated student. Professionally, I'm highly impressed. As a mother of two children, the only place I felt safe entrusting my children to be equipped to face the harsh realities of this world, was Acton Academy. As an inspired professor, I left my faculty position to launch an Acton Academy campus in Salado. This is how passionate I am professionally and personally about Acton Academy. And, my experience as a fellow owner has been nothing short of exceptional. The entire Acton Academy Community is stellar.

After having 2 children at various Austin public and private schools, I will simply say that Acton is the best by far. If you are willing to let your child learn and drive his/her lessons for himself, watch him fall down and learn by figuring out how to pick himself back up and work in a team environment on a daily basis with all of the trials and tribulations that brings- this would be a fantastic school choice for your family.

The Acton model is a difficult journey that will lead to sweet fruits. Couldn't be happier that my husband found Acton academy through our friends and my kids and I live it. The acton model keeps learning fun, and the curiosity alive.

Promoting a self-advocating environment that prepares my kids for life and encourages them to collaborate, think critically and to learn from adversity/failures. Fail often now to learn for later.

I am so thankful for the kind and generous leadership of Jeff and Laura Sandefer. Thank you for sharing your passion for the learner-driven model with the world.

Once you take the time to dive into Acton Academy and discover what education can be like, it's hard to want anything else for your child.

The kind of school that I wish was around when I went to school. The kind of education that I wish every child could get.

Outstanding resource for schooling innovation and creativity.
