The 5 Core Values That Define Acton Leadership Academy

We call them the "M.I.C.C.I. Values." —an acronym to help us remember what truly matters as we develop a truly world-changing, revolutionary approach to education. Let’s break them down.

1. Meekness – Failing Forward with Confidence

At Acton, we redefine failure. Instead of something to fear, failure is a stepping stone to growth. We create a culture where mistakes are embraced as learning opportunities. We say,

“Fail early, often, and cheaply.” When children learn to rise after setbacks, they develop resilience and confidence—essential skills for a meaningful life.

2. Integrity – Owning Your Choices

Integrity is about taking full ownership of our actions, words, and decisions.

We work to practice and encourage our learners to:

-Do what they know is right.

-Admit mistakes and commit to change.

-Have honest, real conversations—even when it’s hard.

By practicing integrity in the studio, our learners develop the courage to navigate challenges in relationships, careers, and life.

3. Courage – Trust and Lead for Goodness' Sake

Courage isn’t just about bravery—it’s about believing in yourself, having big dreams, and taking action.

We encourage our learners to:

-Trust themselves and others.

-Step up as leaders.

-Dream boldly and work hard to achieve their goals.

In a world that often values playing it safe, we cultivate a mindset of bold action and fearless growth.

4. Curiosity – The Gateway to Learning

True learning begins with curiosity. We challenge our learners to ask questions, explore new ideas, and adopt a nonjudgmental perspective.

This mindset helps them:

-Think critically and creatively.

-Build deeper relationships.

-Stay engaged as lifelong learners.

Traditional education often stifles curiosity, but at Acton, we believe it fuels success.

5. Intentional Growth – A Lifelong Commitment

Growth doesn’t happen by accident—it requires purpose. At Acton, we work to grow in all ways, always, by intentionally building skills, expanding knowledge, and strengthening our character. Parents are part of this journey too, engaging in regular reflection and goal-setting alongside their children.
