As part of the acclaimed Acton Academy Network, we offer a learner-driven approach to education that blends Montessori-inspired self-direction with the use of cutting-edge technology and real-world projects. Our students learn both core academic skills and the mindsets needed to thrive in a fast-changing world.
The world is changing fast. The skills of tomorrow aren't the skills of today. Take with you a DIY toolbox of curiosity, grit, trial-and-error, joy, and perseverance. You've confronted new things before. You can learn anything.
What skills do you need to change the world? Every day we're standing in the shoes of doctors, designers, presidents, and builders, learning the skills and tools that heroes have mastered. We call it a Quest.
No other accomplishment matters unless you've built a life you're proud of. Have you become a good person? What relationships have you nurtured? What habits have become part of your character?
Acton Academy Del Mar offers a cutting-edge, innovative learning environment that contrasts with traditional schools where students sit in rows and memorize facts. Inspired by Montessori principles, our approach fosters independence, creativity, and practical skills through personalized learning. We embrace individualized learning plans, multi-age classrooms, and a collaborative, mentorship-driven atmosphere. With project-based learning at the core, we integrate STEM, arts, and storytelling to develop real-world skills and prepare students for the future.
