Evergreen Academy: an Acton Academy

I am consistently in awe of Evergreen’s ability to grow, change and pivot as needed. The guides and director of the school keep the kids safe, engaged and continuing on their journey no matter what the outside world is throwing at them.

We are in love with Evergreen and the Acton Academy way of school! Our family has been looking for a non-traditional schooling experience that emphasized interpersonal development alongside academic skills – we found that, and more!

Acton has been an important stepping stone for our daughter to grow into her full potential. During the past two years, we’ve seen her build confidence, develop a willingness to try difficult things, and experiment with leading her peers. She’s become comfortable with public speaking, acting and goal setting. She’s literally taken charge of her academics.

And in all of this, she’s learning to become a self-directed critical thinker. Good stuff.

This has been a wonderful community for my daughter. She has grown in so many valuable ways. I highly recommend taking a tour and checking it out.

We found the Acton model to be a great fit for our two children. We had tried traditional school, Montessori, and then homeschooling, and nothing got close to meeting their needs nor allowed them to pursue their passions and interests like Acton does! The book Courage to Grow does a great job at describing what daily life at an Acton looks like.
