Acton Academy Pittsburgh

Welcome to Acton Academy Pittsburgh!

At Acton Academy Pittsburgh, we believe that learning should be an exciting adventure! As a private school serving children from Pre-K all the way to 12th grade, we offer a unique approach that sets us apart from traditional schools.

Our Learning Philosophy

• Self-Paced Learning: Here, every child learns at their own speed. This means they can take the time they need to truly understand and enjoy what they are learning.
• Hands-On Experiences: We believe in learning by doing! Our students engage in fun, hands-on activities that make lessons come alive.
• Character Development: We focus not just on academics, but also on building strong character. Our students learn the importance of kindness, responsibility, and teamwork.
• Real-World Problem Solving: We prepare our students for the real world by encouraging them to tackle real-life challenges. This helps them think critically and creatively.

Engaging Learning Methods

At Acton Academy Pittsburgh, we use some exciting methods to make learning fun:

• Socratic Method: Our teachers guide discussions that spark curiosity and encourage students to think deeply.
• Project-Based Learning: Students work on projects that interest them, allowing them to explore topics in depth and collaborate with their peers.
• Apprenticeships: We connect students with real-world experiences, giving them a taste of different careers and helping them discover their passions.

A Touch of Montessori

We also embrace elements of the Montessori philosophy:

• Mixed-Age Classrooms: Our classrooms are filled with children of different ages, promoting peer learning and mentorship.
• Self-Directed Learning: Students have the freedom to choose their learning paths, fostering independence and motivation.

At Acton Academy Pittsburgh, we are dedicated to nurturing curious minds and compassionate hearts. Join us on this wonderful journey of discovery and growth!
