Dig deep into the Acton Model

For parents

We believe family is at the center of learning for children. Please describe a habit or routine that you follow at home to support your child’s learning journey.

How would you describe the perfect teacher for your child, and how would you measure whether he or she is advancing quickly enough?

Tell us about each of your child’s previous learning environments. If we ask your child’s current teachers about them, what words will they use to praise them as learners? What behaviors or attitudes will they say need more work?

Please describe any learning disabilities, allergies or sensitivities your child has previously experienced.

I have read the Parent Contract and I am willing to fully commit to a Hero's Journey as a parent and trust my child, despite any concerns I may have.

We have a limited fund for need-based assistance. If you would like to apply to access this fund, please note this, and we will include the necessary forms in Step 3.
