Empowered Minds: An Acton Academy

Empowered Minds: An Acton Academy is a unique educational institution that focuses on providing a transformative experience for its learners. The school's mission and philosophy center around helping children discover their unique gifts and passions, and using them to serve others and find a calling that will change the world. Empowered Minds offers a distinctive educational approach that moves beyond conventional tools such as lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. Instead, learners collaborate in mixed-age studios with a flexible approach that challenges each learner with their individualized learning plan, coupled with real-world projects and experiences. The school promises that each child will begin a hero's journey, learn to be a curious, independent, lifelong learner, and develop a deep respect for economic, political, and religious freedoms. As part of a larger network of over 300 Acton Academies worldwide, Empowered Minds provides learners with the opportunity to practice and develop essential skills, celebrating personal responsibility, creative freedom, and the pursuit of one's life.
