Coming Soon in 2026
Acton Academy Basehor is more than just a classroom - it's a space where learners find freedom and purpose!
Not Your Typical Classroom
Acton Academy doesn’t look—or feel—like a traditional school. Our space is designed to feel more like a collaborative startup, creative studio, or co-working space than a conventional classroom. Learners move through the day with energy and purpose—from Socratic discussions to hands-on projects—while working in flexible, open environments that spark curiosity and independence.
What You'll Find
Empowering students through innovative, self-directed learning and community engagement.
Studios, Not Classrooms
Learners are grouped by age range into multi-age studios known as Sparks Studio (5-7 year olds) and Discovery Studio (7-11 year olds). Think flexible seating, beanbags, standing desks, and collaborative spaces - designed to promote movement and independence.
Purposeful Daily Flow
From Socratic launches and core academic time to project-based Quests and end-of-day reflections, every part of the day is intentionally designed to grow thinkers, creators, and leaders.
Tech-Supported, Not Tech-Obsessed
Tools like Khan Academy and Lexia help learners master core skills at their own pace. Dashboards help them track progress—tech here supports learning, not screen time.
Self-Governed Studios
No teacher at the front. Learners co-create contracts, hold studio jobs, and use peer feedback tools like Hero Bucks and 360 reviews to guide behavior and growth.
Outside Movement on Acres of Nature
Where hero's can explore nature and breathe fresh air as soon as they step outside!
You’ll Likely See...
Learners debating big questions around a table (Socratic circle). A group prototyping a rocket or planning a class business. Kids tracking their goals on whiteboards or sticker charts. Quiet corners for reading or one-on-one coaching.
Ages 5-11 With Plans to Expand
At Acton Academy Basehor, we are dedicated to revolutionizing education by nurturing self-directed learners. While we only offer 5-11 year olds now, we have plans to expand our ages up through high school. We believe every child is a hero on a journey to discover their unique potential to change the world. Join us as we flip education upside down!
