School Notes

We offer a truly different approach to school.
Supported by the latest in technology and cognitive science, we move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades.
At Aim Academy, our students learn in collaborative classrooms of multi-age learners.
Our flexible approach challenges each student with their own differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects and experiences.

Learn to Know
Our learners master the foundations of reading, writing and math during daily "Core Skills" time. We replace external motivators like high-stakes test scores and grades with an intrinsic growth mindset. Students work with a guide to differentiate their core curriculum and progress at their own pace utilizing a blend of hands-on and online learning tools. They showcase their mastery by meeting their goals, earning badges, assembling portfolios and taking part in public exhibitions of their work.
Learn to Do
We believe children learn best by doing. Whether it's launching a startup business, creating a tidepool habitat, playing a musical instrument, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot, Acton Academy students are building real-life skills in the classroom every day. Our learners investigate, participate and contribute to the world around them by taking on meaningful, hands-on projects.
Learn to Learn
Each day, learners cultivate critical thinking and decision making skills through Socratic discussions and individual reflection time. Among supportive and engaged peers, our children own the learning experience and embrace the idea that real growth is hard work - just like developing a muscle. As they "learn to learn", they understand the importance of asking good questions, taking risks, and remaining curious about the world around them.
Learn to Be
The Aim Academy experience immerses students in real-life situations in ways that allow them to build the social, emotional, and executive skills needed to make a difference in the world. We guide students to develop personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, responsibility, kindness and empathy. Whether it's suggesting new rules in Town Hall Meeting, holding a friend accountable during group work, leading a studio maintenance team or reflecting on missing their math goal, students are constantly exercising and honing life skills.
