Being an Acton parent means joining your child as they define what their education, what their life will look like. It’s different, it’s challenging, and it’s new. But nothing is more rewarding than seeing your little one grow into a curious, driven, lifelong learner.

As you navigate what it means and what it looks like to be the parent of an Acton Eagle, you will without a doubt run into challenges as your learner continues to grow in an educational environment that is radically different from that of a monotonous standardized school.
