NEW FOR 2024-2025:
Middle School Studio
If you have a rising 6th/7th grader, this program will change their life in amazing ways.
They will have purpose, a sense of direction, and will learn the skills necessary to become masters of their own destiny.
Hear about Acton Middle Schools from the learners themselves.
Self-Governance
Middle School learners govern themselves on an individual and collective level. Individually, they are given a roadmap of skills to master, and they learn the habits necessary to achieve the things they set their minds to. Collectively, they learn to manage their studio, solve problems, and serve others.
Project-based Learning
Middle school-aged learners want to do work that is relevant to them. We give them a purpose for doing important work through our project-based “Quests” in which they will learn REAL skills for a successful future—entrepreneurship, creative processes, collaboration, and problem-solving (just to name a few!).
Apprenticeships
Once or twice a year, middle school learners set up apprenticeships with local businesses to try out different fields they are interested in. The goal is to gain exposure and experience in REAL professions so that in high school they have a clear path to their “Next Great Adventure.”
Travel Experiences
Experiences in the real world are an integral part of our school’s program. Learners in the middle school studio will have the opportunity to attend local educational field trips, as well as multi-day trips within the U.S. and foreign.
