WHAT IS HIGH SCHOOL LIKE ACTON?

The Ultimate Goal of Parenting:

Raising Heroes Ready to Launch

Imagine the moment your child is ready to leave home. What skills will they need to step into the world with confidence? What habits and values will truly set them up for success? At Acton Leadership Academy, we believe in preparing young heroes for life by helping them develop the resilience, integrity, and real-world skills they need to thrive.

The Final Years: Where Everything Comes Together

The last phase of a hero’s journey at Acton happens in our oldest studio, called Launch Pad. This is where all the years of hard work and learning pay off. Young adults here dig deep into their strengths, identify their most precious gifts, and create a powerful plan for what’s next—what we call their

Next Great Adventure (NGA).

Real-World Experience: 200+ Hours of Apprenticeships

A key part of the NGA is over 200 hours of hands-on apprenticeships. Instead of just studying theory, our heroes reach out to professionals in fields they admire and learn directly from them. This allows them to build a strong resume filled with real-world mentors—people who will not only teach them valuable skills but also vouch for them in the future.

Mastering a Superpower Skill

Whether it’s writing, music production, robotics, or volunteering in a hospital, our Launchpadders commit hundreds of hours to mastering a skill they are passionate about. This intense focus shows that they are not just prepared but eager to take on the next chapter of their lives with excellence and dedication.

Learning to Lead and Network

Beyond technical skills, our heroes practice networking, event planning, and time management. They mentor younger learners, manage their own schedules, and, perhaps most importantly, develop the habit of hard work. These are the attributes that set them apart, giving them the confidence and capability to navigate life’s challenges.


Trusting Learners to Own Their Future

At Acton Leadership Academy, we trust children to own their learning. We trust them to dream big, make decisions, fail, and rise again. By taking full responsibility for their thoughts, actions, and choices, our heroes truly become the authors of their own stories.

Isn’t that the ultimate goal of parenting? To gradually hand over responsibility and watch as they soar? To know deep down that they are ready—not just to leave home but to launch into a future they’ve built with their own hands.


The world needs more young people who are confident, capable, and prepared for life. That’s exactly why we created this school for our own six children. If you want the same for your hero, we invite you to learn more about Acton Leadership Academy.
