JOY + RIGOR = MASTERY
Embracing rigor is part of saying ‘yes’ to a Hero’s Journey. Deep learning brings a special sense of joy, but the mastery required for a Hero’s Journey goes even further, requiring commitment, discipline and hard work towards a worthy goal.

At Acton Academy Morristown, we believe that learning to do, learning to be, and learning to learn are more important than memorization alone - learning to know...
Learn To Do
What skills do you need to change the world? Every day we're standing in the shoes of doctors, designers, president, and builders, learning the skills and tools that heroes have mastered. We call it a Quest.
Learn To Learn
The world is changing fast. The skills of tomorrow aren't the skills of today. Take with you a DIY toolbox of curiosity, grit, trial-and-error, joy, and perseverance. You've confronted new things before. You can learn anything.
Learn To Be
No other accomplishment matters unless you've built a life you're proud of. Have you become a good person? What relationships have you nurtured? What habits have become part of your character?
Learn To Know
Build a solid foundation of traditional academics –and even more importantly, a clear "why?". Master writing and grammar because storytelling can change the world. Dive deep into biology because you intend to cure cancer.
