STUDIOS

Acton Academy Cache Valley currently has 2 studios: Preschool and Elementary. These studios are learner-driven one-room schoolhouses. We believe that children learn best when they have an individualized curriculum while working with children younger and older than themselves.

Middle School and High School Studios will open when it's the right time for our community.

"Adventure" Studios (ages 11-14), are dedicated to guiding young people through the Hero's Journey, helping them discover and pursue their unique passions and gifts. Our mission is to equip students with the essential skills and tools needed to fulfill their life's purpose. During the transformative Middle School years, we inspire independent thinking, foster strong friendships, and cultivate leadership skills, all while instilling a commitment to integrity.
