Acton Academy Frisco is a learner-driven, private school that celebrates the genius in each child.

The Acton Academy network is a force in helping to disrupt education, with over 230 "unschools" worldwide. A response to the education system that has not received an update in over 100 years, Acton Academy's common sense approach to learning recognizes that learning to learn, learning to be, and learning to do are more important than learning to know.

Proud of five Acton Heroes who displayed courage by competing in their first Model UN competition!

The morning committee addressed UN Security Council reform, negotiating with other delegates while representing their own countries’ interests. They managed to pass a resolution at the last minute.

The afternoon crisis committee had to respond quickly to China’s interference and attempt to take over the Caribbean, and in doing so had to make important decisions such as whether to accept money from Chinese investors, their position on the assassination of the President of Cuba and whether to heed the warning from the United States that they would continue to liberate freedom loving people.

Resolutions were finally passed, but not without considering all options including stealing investor money and kidnapping the Vice President’s children!

Congratulations to the heroes for giving this new experience a try and to those who were invited to the National Competition!

A huge thanks to Jessica Komanapalli for blessing us with her experience and wisdom about how she wrote a biography!

Our learners are writing a biography on someone they know. They learned how to interview, listen carefully, ask follow up questions, take notes, and identify gaps in the story. We are grateful for Mrs. Jessica’s tips on how to organize the information, create suspense, and use storytelling to write an exciting biography that people would want to read.

Come see our Acton authors at our next exhibition on Wednesday, April 22nd at 2:00 pm!

Scale, elevation, blueprints, and 3D models...our learners have been designing their dream school and will be competing for “Most Innovative” and “Most Likely to Be Built”. If you have not witnessed the magic of a learner-driven studio, this is your chance!

Part 2 of our Architecture Quest field trip gave us an up close view of the architectural designs in downtown Dallas. From the arched hall at the DMA inspired by a church in Spain to a building inspired by a ribbon- the walking tour provided by the Architectural Design Exchange did not disappoint!

After sketching the Meyerson Symphony Center, an impromptu ride on a trolley, and a march back to ADEX we ended our trip with an awesome LEGO exhibition called “Bricktecture”, where Legos and architecture intersected to provide a display of famous buildings from around the world!

Our Heroes are working through the Acton Architecture Quest, where they are stretching their minds to think and draw like architects and create their own dream school.

Our Heroes received such a blessing in Mr. NIck and Mr. Quoc, who rolled out the red carpet for us and shared their wisdom and experience as Architectural Designers! We listened to their presentation and learned about their careers, their skills, and projects they work on - one of which is schools!

We received feedback on our own designs, learning how to improve them by remembering scale, contrast, and color coding. Our Heroes are now thinking about circulation, natural light, and how the different spaces will be used by its guides and learners.

Thank you BRW Architects for the warm welcome, your time and energy, and a fun, educational morning together!

At Acton Academy Frisco, we believe that failure isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of growth. Each challenge our learners face builds resilience, courage, and confidence to try again. The glory isn’t in perfection, but in standing up one more time, ready to learn, adapt, and rise stronger. 🚀

Education at Acton Academy Frisco is a deeply human experience — one that nurtures curiosity, independence, and purpose. We empower each learner to explore widely and think freely before choosing their own path.
