Our philosophy of learning
We believe that:
Clear thinking leads to good decisions.
Good decisions lead to the right habits.
The right habits lead to character.
And character becomes destiny.
A LEARNER-DRIVEN COMMUNITY
At Alpha Acton Academy, we believe every child has a unique hero's journey. Our mission is to help them discover their strengths, passions & purpose. We believe in empowering students to become independent, lifelong learners. Our unique approach to education moves beyond traditional schooling, emphasizing real-world learning, project-based exploration, and personalized learning plans. Students of all ages collaborate in our studios, developing critical thinking, creativity, and a deep love of learning.
More than ever, parents in Folsom and El Dorado Hills, California are looking for alternative, private school options to provide the best education for their children. Alpha Acton Academy offers a truly different approach to education.
21st CENTURY LEARNING
We offer a truly different approach to school. Supported by the latest in technology and cognitive science, we move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. At Alpha Acton Academy, students K-6 learn in collaborative classrooms of multi-age learners. Our flexible approach challenges each student with their differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects.
After-all, childhood should be about the discovery of self. We are a place where kids are free to be kids while learning how to be kind, passionate, and powerful individuals capable of changing the world. By utilizing the latest technology and educational methods, we help empower Lions to be their greatest selves every day.
measuring mastery
Young heroes celebrate the mastery of tools, skills and character by earning badges, assembling portfolios and taking part in public exhibitions.
- Parents use badges to track academic progress in Core Skills like reading, writing, math and spelling and character development in “Learn to Be” Badges.
- Portfolios and the Journey Tracker (our internal goal-setting and tracking software) captures rough drafts, photos, and other creative work.
- Public exhibitions at the end of most Quests allow young heroes to present work to experts, customers or the public for a real-world test.
PERSONALIZED TOOLS
At Alpha Acton Academy Folsom we utilize the latest in educational tools and technology for self-paced mastery of Core Skills (like reading, writing and math, etc.)
