Education Reimagined

21st Century Education That Fosters 

Holistic Development Through Lifelong Learning

The Ethos School is an affiliate of the global Acton Academy network founded in 2009. Acton Academy draws upon best practices of education, leadership, psychology, philosophy, and business from around the world to reimagine what education looks likes. We wholly embrace the true root word of education - "exducere" - and seek to draw out the unique natural gifts and infinite potential of each child.

 

We have founded The Ethos School to nurture children to find their calling and prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We do this by challenging them to take ownership of their learning and to practically apply it by solving complex real-world problems using critical thinking, curiosity, collaboration, and confidence. 

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING + AUTHENTIC MONTESSORI 

SOCRATIC GUIDANCE + VALUE-BASED ENVIRONMENT

We consider this to be the best way to nurture a holistic, character-rooted, and child-led educational environment. We are thrilled to share it with intentional families in our community.

OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH

Clear thinking leads to good decisions,

Good decisions lead to the right habits,

Right habits lead to strong character,

Strong character becomes fulfilled purpose

CHANGE YOURSELF, CHANGE THE WORLD

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

Patanjali (Father of Yoga)

Hear From Other Acton Academy Parents

Our 8 year old boy who hated all things school now LOVES school and wants it to be a 24 hour school. The love of learning alone is enough to make sending him there worth it, but he is learning so much more than that. The character traits they are building will be more valuable in his life than we could possibly imagine right now.
