Deep dives
The Origin of Acton Academy
Acton Academy was founded in 2009 by Jeff and Laura Sanderfer in Austin, Texas. It started with a desire to provide a better education for their own children after a disappointing experience with a traditional school. Inspired by the works of Maria Montessori and the Socratic method, Acton Academy aimed to create a learner-driven environment where children could explore their interests and take charge of their education. The success of the first Acton Academy led to the opening of more campuses worldwide, and the network continues to grow.
