"That's Acton"
The most powerful feedback is what parents notice and say, ending with the phrase, "That's Acton."
Often, it's an increase in enthusiasm for school and learning:
My daughter has long excited answers to the question, ‘How was school today?" No more apathetic, one-word answers that we used to get at other schools: fine, good, OK, terrible, etc. Every day is truly interesting and exciting! That’s Acton.
My son is asking great questions, exploring his individual opinions, and respecting others' differences. That’s Acton.
It’s obvious that my children are building a mindset that will be unstoppable. That’s Acton.
Parents also observe a positive impact on their family as a whole:
We are still in control of our kids and family is at the center. That’s Acton.
This school has made me a better parent—I learn so much from the guides, other parents, and the school’s philosophy. That's Acton.
The school is full of families who think outside the box, question things, have an open mind and believe the current education system has room for improvement. That’s Acton.
