Acton Academy Silicon Valley Overview:
Founded in 2021, Acton Academy Silicon Valley is a private independent-school and learner-driven community committed to helping each person find their calling and make a difference. We are part of the larger Acton Academy Global Network or over 300 schools that are each independently owned & operated. We blend the Montessori method with Socratic guiding, hands-on experiential quests, and interactive technology, all rooted in the Hero’s Journey framework. Acton Academy Silicon Valley is located in Redwood City.
Our Approach:
At Acton Academy Silicon Valley, we have mixed-aged classrooms called studios, promoting self-paced learning rather than grade levels. Our real-world quests culminate in public exhibitions of learning instead of test scores and report cards. Students are empowered to take charge of their learning journey.
