Acton Academy Falls Church is a private, non-denominational Christian school with a partial Spanish immersion program, serving learners ages 3–15 (and growing). Designed for curious, self-directed learners, it offers meaningful challenges, real responsibility, and the freedom to pursue work that matters. The campus uses mixed-age studios, fostering collaboration, leadership, and natural peer learning. Early childhood learners enjoy a Montessori-inspired environment, while upper studios focus on self-paced work cycles, goal-setting, and personal accountability. Core academics are mastery-based, and learners progress only when skills are fully understood. Multi-week interdisciplinary “quests” in science, arts, and entrepreneurship show how knowledge applies to real life. Instead of tests or homework, learners demonstrate growth through public exhibitions. Social-emotional development is integrated daily, with reflection, studio contracts,and mentorship guiding independence, collaboration, and responsibility. Acton nurtures creativity, character, and a love of learning in a supportive community.
