About Acton Academy of Washington, DC
Acton Montessori (ages 3-6) offers an authentic Montessori curriculum in a nurturing home-away-from-home environment.
Acton Elementary (grades 1-6) is Montessori reimagined for the 21st century, combining individualized learning with Socratic discussions and real-world projects. In Acton elementary, children begin their journey to discover a calling and change the world.
Acton Montessori (ages 3-6)
We are dedicated to guiding children ages 3-6 along their own path of development in a nurturing and stimulating space made just for them. Our Montessori classroom is filled with beautiful materials that facilitate growth and independence while keeping up with the active bodies and brains of young children. Children at Acton Montessori are encouraged to follow their interests, ask questions, and discover what excites them.
“Acton is the best decision we’ve ever made for our daughter.”
Acton Elementary (grades 1-6)
Acton elementary is a community where children in grades 1-6 are on a journey to discover a calling and change the world. Students are encouraged to explore questions such as Who am I? Where am I going? How do my passions and talents connect with the world around me?
To support this journey, the Acton curriculum focuses on:
Learning to Learn: Individualized, mastery learning that prizes curiosity, discovery, creativity, and joy. Acton students work at their own pace in the core skills of math, reading, grammar, and spelling.
Learning to Do: Quests (project-based learning) challenge Acton students to learn by doing in fields as diverse as biology, programming, forensics, poetry, history, and more. Acton quests are like a heroic adventure. And rather than simply taking tests, Acton students prove their learning through exhibitions.
Learning to Be: Acton students engage in Socratic discussions, take ownership of their learning, and develop character traits—such as hard work, integrity, persistence, kindness, and gratitude—that are important for a fulfilling and meaningful life.
All-Day Program
Acton Montessori and elementary are all-day programs with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Parents may drop their children off anytime between 8 and 8:45am. Montessori parents may pick up anytime between 3:30 and 6:00pm and elementary parents may pick up anytime between 3:15 and 6:00pm (elementary parents also have the option of school-day enrollment with pick up at 3:15pm).
