How did we get here?

As parents in the 1990s, we agonized over the decision of choosing a school for our daughters.  The schooling model had changed very little since we were kids in the 60s or our parents, even, in the 30s! We chose to Homeschool.

Now, as our daughters look at the world our grandchildren are entering, they also question the need for sitting behind a desk all day, endless homework, and frequent tests. Is this really the best way to prepare them for the 21st century world that they will be entering? It wasn't until we discovered Acton Academy that we became excited about what lay ahead for our Grands!  As there were no Acton Academies close enough for our families, we committed to starting our own!

Acton Academy is a proven network of learner-driven micro-schools, founded by educators, innovators, entrepreneurs and parents.

As part of our own Hero's Journey, we are proud to be part of the growing movement of families and educators advancing alternative schooling in our current educational landscape. We invite you to explore Acton Academy Bonney Lake and reach out as you prepare your family to change the world. 

Sincerely, 

Jeff and Wendy Mitchell
