At Acton Academy Amba Township, located in Adalaj, Gujarat, we are building on the educational platform established by Acton Academy Main Campus (USA). We are turning learning upside down and adapting it for the 21st Century. We prioritize learning to be, learning to do, and learning to learn over learning to know. This platform encourages one to develop critical thinking skills, deep insight, and common sense. These three things prepare one to find their calling, handle the most adverse situations and move forward in their journey towards Self-realization.

Good Education:
“Mere reading and memorizing theory notes does not actually culminate into knowledge. Education does not at all mean stuffing one’s mind, it means cultivating the mind. Knowledge is power; and a cultivated mind makes effective use of this power by applying it to solve problems. This is what good education is for.”

What Makes Acton Academy Different?
1. Self-Paced
Acton Academy uses the latest technology in a self-paced learning environment designed to foster responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork. Acton students are empowered to thrive in a world that needs independent, motivated thinkers and learners.
2. Learn by Doing
We believe children learn best by doing. Whether it’s launching a startup business, creating a habitat, playing a musical instrument, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot, Acton students are building real-life skills in the classroom every day.
3. Guides
We believe the learning experience is much richer when the teacher (“Guide”) offers insightful questions and facilitates hands on learning. Guides use the Socratic method, always responding to students’ questions with new questions. This exchange hones students’ critical thinking skills.
4. Learner-Driven
Acton Academy is “learner-driven.” This means young people take ownership of their education and peer relationships, without adult intrusion. Acton students learn to think independently, take responsibility and embrace challenge. They are being prepared to bring their own unique genius to the world.
5. Apprenticeship
We believe in the power of apprenticeships. Beginning in middle school, our students obtain summer internships in a field they are passionate about. Acton students have interned with doctors, entrepreneurs, bakers, attorneys and graphic designers. What will your child choose?
6. Personal Growth
We encourage our students to grow in self-awareness and develop personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, responsibility, kindness, and empathy. Armed with purpose and good character, we believe our students will launch into adulthood prepared to find their calling and change the world.
