We work hard to protect the learning environment created by our heroes, so we never offer tours during school hours. We do offer Open Houses throughout the year and tours can be scheduled for applying families.  We encourage anyone interested in meeting our Guides or seeing our studios to attend an open house or schedule a tour, the first step is requesting an information kit.

We are a dedicated full-time private school that places a strong emphasis on fostering family togetherness. Our academic calendar spans 10 months, yet our flexible program allows families to embark on shared travels without compromising the learning experience. The educational framework is centered around 5-6 week learning sprints, aptly named 'quests.' Within these quests, learners immerse themselves in new and ambitious themes, engage in in-depth studies, complete projects, and delve into research. Each session concludes with a public exhibition, providing an opportunity for families and friends to witness and celebrate the culmination of learning while offering valuable project feedback.

Throughout the school year, comprised of 6-7 sessions, learners benefit from 1-2 week breaks between quests. These breaks serve as an opportunity to refuel, strengthen family bonds, and indulge in travel experiences, creating a well-rounded and enriching 10-month academic journey.

At AACV we believe in the power of balance.

The two types of experiences are highly complementary creating a wholistic learning experinece and well rounded students capable of healthily utilizing the technological tools of the 21st century.

We embrace families of all perspectives—Believers, Searchers, and Non-Believers alike—welcoming everyone to join our community, share their beliefs, and uphold their unique values. At Acton Academy Cache Valley, you can trust that there are no hidden agendas, indoctrinations, or forcefully imposed ideologies on your hero. We firmly believe in the family as the primary source of moral virtue and consistently guide students back to their parents for all matters related to moral values.

Our learning design introduces children to the significance of mindful spirituality, and in our historical studies, we emphasize the crucial role that various world religions have played in shaping cultures worldwide. We foster an inclusive environment where each individual's beliefs are respected and can be explored freely and respectfully.

At Acton Academy Cache Valley we believe in learning to be and learning to do and an important part of this is encouraging young people to take responsibility for their own behavior and hold those around them to a high standard. When something isn’t working, we want our Learners to work together to solve the problem, not look for an adult to solve it for them. This creates a sense of independence and confidence that will serve them well in all areas of life.
