Acton Academy Weatherford (Masterworks)

We transitioned our children from being homeschooled to attending at Acton Academy in December of 2016 and we have been so grateful to have a school that supports our desire to give our children a non-traditional education that better prepares them for the real world outside of status-quo. As a self-employeed family, we realized that many of the skills that we were provided in our own education did not prepare us for what was required for us in owning and operating out own business. We wanted to give our children that foundation early on that they could use if they ever wanted to have their own businesses or pursue careers that didn't rely on college educations. Acton Academy is able to provide that for our children and adapt their learning to the way the world is changing to better prepare them for their futures. What Acton has provided that we were unable to provide while homeschooling: A collaborative community - learning how to be contribute and how to ask for help outside of a home structure of parents & siblings. Competition, challenges and earned achievements- by being a part of a diverse community, they have been challenged by their peers and given the opportunity for healthy competition that helps them not settle for delivering only minimal to get by as well as encouraging others who are struggling by assisting them in their weaknesses. The school provides real-world opportunities for them to earn freedom, awards, and "level up" just like a working world or as an entrepreneur. We greatly appreciate that there is no homework sent home, there are no fundraisers, and there are no additional expenses beyond tuition costs for activities and programs. If you have been frustrated with the options of education that aren't in alignment with your value system, I highly recommend Acton Academy to families who have inner rebels and aren't satisfied with settling for status quo. You will find a supportive team of leaders at Acton who believe that your child is meant for great things and their heart goes beyond just getting them a diploma, but preparing them to find a calling and change the world.
