As enrollment grows, we will open a Middle Studio (ages 12-14) and a Launch Pad Studio (ages 14-18).
Our Studios are designed to create flexible spaces for work, learning, and play. They are tight-knit communities of mixed-age children who support each other and collaborate daily.
Children work together to create rules for the space. Some areas might be off limits for play, while others are more flexible. Ultimately, the learners come together to agree to those ground rules and promises—all based on a key promise to not distract themselves or each other during times of work.
A primary goal in our Studios is to guide learners in their development of social and problem-solving skills.
Our well-balanced educational experience ignites curiosity, creativity, and the ability to ask good questions.
Young heroes start their journey towards mastery of tools, skills and character by working on acquiring small habits.
At our Spark we lay the foundation for the joy of learning.
Young people in the Elementary Studio embark on a journey into the real world with the thrilling opportunities and responsibility that come with it. We encourage our young heroes to tap into their unique genius and continue building real-world skills.
Middle School Heroes continue to learn through quests, deepening Socratic discussions, and independent skill work in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. Self-exploration is emphasized as Heroes add apprenticeships that help reveal their genius and add more tools and strategies to their learning repertoire.
Launchpad students get ready for real-world success by gaining valuable skills, mastering them through apprenticeships, and launching real startups, businesses, and projects.
Your accomplishments will be showcased in a series of badges that will dazzle admissions officers at top notch universities or convince employees, partners and investors to join forces in a world changing start up.
We’d love to hear from you! Start by letting us know you’re interested. This is the first step in discovering how we can support your child's growth.
Help us learn more about your family’s needs by filling out a short questionnaire. This will help us understand if Acton Academy Del Mar is right for you.
Once we review your application, we’ll invite you for an in-person meeting. This is a chance to discuss any questions and see if we’re the right fit for each other.
