Acton Academy Columbus is a project-based, learner-driven microschool. At Acton, we aim to create a positive, growth mindset environment in order to develop curious, independent students who find great joy in creating, learning, and collaborating in a tight-knit community while discovering their own personal gifts and talents.
Our approach blends the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf-inspired philosophies with modern project-based learning. Learners engage in hands-on challenges, Socratic discussions, and real-world problem solving, all within a supportive, mixed-age community. This combination encourages creativity, independence, and collaboration, giving students the freedom to explore their passions while building strong academic and life skills.
As a Columbus-based microschool, we offer a unique alternative to traditional education. Acton Academy Columbus is designed for families seeking a personalized, holistic approach that values both character and academics. With a focus on curiosity, resilience, and purpose, our learners are empowered to take ownership of their education and develop the confidence needed to thrive in the 21st century.
