Acton Academy of Bergen County

AA Bergen County is the kind of school I wish I had when I was a kid!!! Focused on learning to learn, learning to do (real stuff!) and learning to be, AA Bergen County empowers students to take ownership of their education and find a calling that changes the world - such a unique and powerful learning experience. Your kid's gonna love it here - it's like nothing else in the area!

When I first came across with the idea of Acton, I was so excited to see it in action. The reality were far better than my dream. To see them grow far beyond any expectations, to see them so happy each morning, to hear their laughter, to see how much they accomplished in such a short time. This is the way a kid should learn! This is the real joy of learning and this is how a school should be in the 21st century.

This school has completely redefined our family’s understanding of what an “education” should actually look and feel like. And it’s pretty much the opposite of what we had thought before it should be before coming here. Now we can’t even imagine what our lives would be like without AABC at the heart of our days. Every day at AABC is a day that is better than than the last.

We love AABC! Learner-led magic in a nurturing and empowering environment. Lots of outdoor time in nature. Our family is thrilled with this school!

AABC is a most wondrous, learner-driven place. I could not ask for a better learning environment for my child. A warm and caring atmosphere, that promotes self-awareness and mindfulness. A heavy emphasis on growth mindset and appreciation for the process. An environment that fosters true learning that stems from curious passion, choice and inspiration. An abundance of real-life, hands-on opportunities. AABC encourages my child to take responsibility and cultivates a culture of accountability. Group dynamics that allow for deep relationship building, improvement of communication skills, negotiation and conflict resolution abilities. Lots of community involvement and connection with nature. A vivacious and truly amazing place to grow. We absolutely love it!
