Your passion for architecture was spread to our heroes today. 👍🏻🥳

NEW BUILDING PLANS REVEALED….

Friday the 17th at 5:00pm.

Come check out the 11 proposed building plans for a NEW ACTON ACADEMY Twin Falls.

Acton students have played the role of architects in designing ideal school buildings. Challenges have taken the students through the process of: research, design (drafting/sketching), and construction (model building). They’ve learned about architecture as a calling, scaling and applied mathematics, precision and attention to detail, and working within creative constraints. 📐 📏

It is amazing to see their creativity come to life and the pride they’ve taken in designing a new school building for their Acton community. 🏫

Top off the night with an edible architectural challenge given to all guests. GOOD LUCK 🍀 participating in this fun building activity that will test your building skills. We’d suggest teaming up with one of these architecture students!

It’s moments like this that I am SO grateful my kids have this opportunity to learn hands-on. These are life skills that they will use forever! What better way to apply core skills than through real-life applications that make them EXCITED about learning. ❤️

Crazy hair day FUN!
The elementary and middle grade students pushed themselves academically in order to celebrate their accomplishments with a crazy hair day. They of course invited the preschool and kindergarten too.
FUN TIMES!

Does your child's education foster curiosity and a love of learning? Does it follow your child's interests and passions? Is it preparing your child to think on their feet and lead in the real world?

Welcome to education in the 21st century. At Acton Academy, students are encouraged to be themselves, want more for their future and become the best version of they can be, not just merely pass to the next grade.

Some differences we know matter to you:
Individualism
Student-led learning
Growth mindset
Mastery based at their own pace
Learning to lead and collaborate even with differing opinions
Developing valuable habits for life

If you want to discover a revolutionary way of learning, snag one of the last remaining tours in January! We'd want to ignite the love of learning in your child.
WARNING: Once they begin, your child might never want to leave school. Seriously!

On January 23rd between 3:30 and 5:30, we'll be celebrating National School Choice week by hosting a game night. We'll be providing loads of games or you can bring along your favorite! Prizes will be awarded for game winners (while supplies last and for set games). Invite family, friends and neighbors to come have fun with a little friendly competition.

Who are the most successful people? Whether you define success in wealth, happiness or wisdom, the most successful tend to be resilient, self-directed, disciplined, competent, creative and able to learn on a whims notice.

If the world demands these skills, why do traditional schools require children to conform and teach them such a narrow scope of knowledge completely disconnected from any real-world application?

Acton Academy is a hands-on, project-based school that puts education back into the learner's hands. We treat every child as an individual in an environment that allows them to explore, create and grow to develop the character, knowledge and skills needed for the real world.

Home | Acton Academy Twin Falls | Elementary, Middle and High School Join the 21st century learning revolution at Acton Academy Twin Falls. At this non-traditional elementary school, our mission is to inspire each child who enters our doors to find a calling that will change the world. Find out more about Acton's learner-driven community.

Today our heroes began their geography and culture quest. The Sparks (3-6 year olds) started by getting an idea of where they live (see their building blocks) in Twin Falls, expanding to Idaho and level by level until reaching the universe. They then came back down in the afternoon to land in Paris by learning about and building the Eiffel Tower.

I love this picture that was captured in the studio last week. (Here a 2nd year hero helps a kindergarten hero who was timid to practice a cursive letter on the board.) This really sums up the community that's being built at Acton Academy Twin Falls, LLC! What's forming is a tight-knit tribe of caring humans using their gifts and talents to help lift their fellow heroes to their full potential. It makes my heart sing to watch them prepare to change the world.

Thank you to the families who helped and participated in our Christmas Craft Night! It was GREAT watching kids and adults alike be creative and enjoy time together. Can’t wait for next year’s event!

Did you know teaching cursive writing BEFORE manuscript (print) has many benefits!

With only 3 main strokes, it's easier to teach;
Prevents reversal of letters;
Less errors due to the natural, fluid motion;
Enforces skills and patterns for reading;
Strengthens fine motor skills;
Self corrects spacing between letters and words;
Helps left-handed children.

These are reasons your child will learn cursive before print at Acton Academy!

Even older children at Acton are encouraged to learn or strengthen their cursive writing skills, but learning from a young age (around 3) will provide the most benefit to the child.

The Ignite heroes (ages 6-13) are on fire! It’s amazing to watch them choose to engage and how handing their education back to them builds interest, engagement and learning that lasts. I dare you to ask how it works! 😁
It’s also impressive to watch the tribe grow into a tight-knit community full of caring individuals with unique differences and strengths and use these differences to make each other even better. ❤️

These Spark heroes (3-6 year old students) have been so engaged and excited about learning, exploring and discovering the world around them. They truly have a love of learning being “sparked.”
And we want to keep it that way for life!
