✨ MEET OUR TEAM: GUIDE LIV ✨

We’re kicking off our 26–27 Guide introductions with someone many of you already know. Guide Liv!

Liv has worked in childcare for 6 years and spent last school year leading our Spark Studio. Before finding her way into education, Liv spent 7 years building and running a successful business so she could be a stay-at-home mom with her kids. She loves creating, organizing, and executing big ideas.

She believes kids can handle hard things AND that school should be ridiculously fun.

This year, Liv is taking all of that further as she steps into a new role as our Director of Operations!

In this role, Liv will help oversee the day-to-day operations of Imagine Academy. This includes building structural systems, supporting our Guides and families, managing enrollment, and meeting the needs of our campus.

She’ll still be in Spark Studio (1st & 2nd grade) every day, but she’ll also be working behind the scenes to support our entire team and help Imagine Academy continue to grow. She cares deeply about the little details that make a school feel like a community and the big-picture work it takes to keep that community moving forward.

Outside of Imagine, Liv loves crafting, tackling home DIY projects, and spending time with her two beautiful (and slightly crazy) girls. Usually at the skate park or outside enjoying nature whenever Texas decides it doesn’t need to be 400 degrees.

One of the most honorable things about Liv is how deeply she invests herself in the things she cares about. She’s never been one to simply show up and do the job in front of her. She wants to build, improve, create, and leave things better than she found them. That same heart she’s poured into her own businesses, her studio, and her heroes is now being poured into Imagine as a whole. She genuinely believes in what we’re building here, and we’re so excited to have her helping lead where we go next.

We’re so excited to officially introduce our Director of Operations, Guide Liv! Congratulations!

🎓 What does “learner-driven” really mean?

One of the questions we hear most often is, “What does learner-driven education actually look like?”

At Acton Imagine Academy, learners aren’t simply told what to think or how to solve every problem. Instead, they are given the opportunity to ask questions, make choices, collaborate with peers, and take ownership of their learning. Our Guides don’t stand at the front of the room with all the answers—they ask thoughtful questions, encourage reflection, and help learners discover solutions for themselves.

This approach builds more than academic knowledge. It helps children develop confidence, responsibility, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning—skills they’ll carry with them far beyond their school days.

If you’re curious about why the learner-driven approach is at the heart of everything we do, this article does a wonderful job explaining both the how and the why.

Hey Texas friends!

Can I get your help?

Our special little school is now officially registered with the state for the TEFA (Texas Education Freedom Account).

Will you share this so that the right family may see this?

Here’s what’s happening:

You can apply on February 4th to receive tuition for the approved school of your choice for children.

You don’t have to have them at a government-run school, and can now use your own tax dollars to decide which school is best for your child—

The funding follows the child, and not the institution anymore.

If you’d like to know more, or want your child to try out our school…

LET ME KNOW.

I’m biased but feel like we’re light years ahead of the sit in a chair and memorize facts for a test system.

We are a Socratic school.

Children work at their own pace instead of the speed of the class, going as fast as they want to go, or as slow as they need to go to master their lessons.

We also do real world projects like running their own REAL businesses, creating their own board games, learning survival skills, and running their own “Exhibitions of Learning” where they show off what they’ve learned to the public.

There is too much to write about now—but they do their own Town Halls, apprenticeships, solve disagreements with peace tables, and get “Scholar’s Choice” time to follow their Hero’s Journey with what they want to do in life.

It’s awesome, and the children love to learn, and LEARN TO LEARN at Imagine Academy.

The children actually LOVE coming to school!

I’m running a free tour of my school this Friday at 2pm for folks who are interested in something better for their children.

Let me know if you or someone you know may be interested—

Especially now as it’s possible that the tuition will be paid by the State from your tax dollars.

You can tell me here, and I’ll message you, or you can message me directly at 254-535-3227.

Thank you for your help!

📚 How Learning Works at Imagine Academy
(For Solar & Galaxy Studios✨)

At Imagine Academy, our Heroes are on a unique learning journey designed to help them love learning and learn how to learn.

⭐ Core Skills:
We use IXL, a personalized online platform for math, language arts, and science. It adapts to each learner’s level, tracks progress, and keeps parents and guides connected through easy-to-read analytics.

🌟 Star Lessons:
Each week, Heroes complete targeted lessons (2 math, 2 language arts, 1 science) to ensure steady progress at their own pace. If they need extra help or are ready to advance, guides tailor support to match.

⚡ Focused Learning:
Heroes spend about 40–60 minutes daily on Core Skills—equal to nearly double that in traditional classrooms thanks to IXL’s focused, efficient design. IXL only counts time focused on answering questions and active learning. Idle time or distractions from the work at hand are not counted towards focus time. The required time may take just that 40-60 minutes…or it might take them several hours depending on their ability and willingness to focus on the assignment. This time requirement frees up time for hands-on, project-based learning.

🌍 Beyond the Screen:
Through Civilization, Quests, and creative writing, Heroes explore history, science, entrepreneurship, and more—building critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills.

💛 At Imagine Academy, growth, curiosity, and confidence matter more than grades. Every child’s journey is unique—and every milestone is worth celebrating.
