Acton Academy Marietta

"I love the idea of Acton. I loved what I read in Courage to Grow. Unfortunately AAM wasn’t a good fit for my quiet self-conscious 6yo, and it wasn’t a good fit for our family. You really need to ask a lot of questions before committing to it — don’t assume that the philosophies and approaches you read in the book apply to all Acton Academies. Don’t assume they’ll actually believe in your child."

"Acton Academy Marietta has provided our child and family with a novel, supportive, inclusive learning environment that stands uncontested amongst any other school option for us. Welcoming neurodiverse learners and providing a safe, fun, advanced educational experience for them has given our child the best schooling experience so far, compared to public and other private schools. Our learner feels safe, respected, honored, included, encouraged, supported, and genuinely loved at Acton Academy Marietta. This, along with the community Acton Marietta fosters, has significantly positively impacted our child's growth, development, and our overall parenting for. The guides at Acton Marietta have helped us navigate different challenges from a learner, parent, and family perspective on several occasions. They consistently show up for our learner and our family in ways that we could have never imagined when beginning this journey. I would highly recommend Acton Academy Marietta to someone else like me or a family like ours. Acton Academy Marietta has truly given my family hope again in education and has opened us up to opportunities where we connected with people and resources that we might not have otherwise known. The community among the parents, guides, and learners is really amazing to witness and experience; there is no place like Acton Academy in the public or private school arena."

"As a former public school teacher and homeschooling parent, I am so happy to have found AAM! It combines the best of both worlds to create an environment that fosters the love of learning and real life skills. This learning model definitely requires a leap of faith, but if you stick to the path you will be amazed at what it will do! If you want your child to be an intelligent, well rounded, free thinking, ready for the world person, check out AAM!"

"Acton Academy Marietta has been a transformative experience for our son and our family. The guides are incredibly supportive, flexible and understanding of our son’s unique needs. And we feel that he will be 100% prepared for whatever occupation he chooses to pursue later in life. Acton is a unique learning environment and perhaps not for every family. But for those who want their child(ren) to be independent, competent and ready for life’s challenges, then Acton Academy Marietta would be a great fit."

"What a tiny gem! This school is such a wonderful place! My daughter is happy at school and love going. She looks forward to going every day and is sad when she has to stay home. She shares her learning enthusiastically with us and loves to learn. Acton Marietta teaches her how to be a creative thinker, empathetic friend, great problem solver, collaborative worker, and effective communicator. This school not only provides an amazing learning opportunity academically, it is also such a loving and supportive environment! The owner, Ms. Georgette, is AMAZING and her true passion for the social, emotional, and educational support of our student is evident every. single. day.. WE LOVE ACTON MARIETTA!"
