Our Mission, Promises & Beliefs

Our Mission We believe each person who enters Acton Academy will find one or more of their God-given callings to change the world.

Our Goal is to partner with parents to provide Biblical encouragement, resources, community & support to homeschool through high school graduation.

Our Promises Through Socratic guiding and experiential learning, we promise to encourage each member of our community to:

  • Begin a Hero’s journey;
  • Discover precious gifts and a commitment to mastery;
  • Become a curious, independent, life-long learner;
  • Embrace the forging of a strong character;
  • Cherish the arts, the physical world, and the mysteries of life;
  • Treasure economic, political, and religious freedom by pointing them to Truth in God’s Word through a Biblical Worldview.

Our Beliefs

  • We believe each person has a gift that can change the world in a profound way.
  • We believe in learning to learn, learning to do, and learning to be.
  • We believe in a closely connected family of lifelong learners.
  • We believe each student is created by God to have a relationship with Him through His son, Jesus, and to bring Him glory. We bring God the greatest glory by being who He created us to be and utilizing our gifts, skills and passions to make the greatest impact in the world. Read more here
