Admissions
Acton isn’t the right fit for every family, and that’s okay. Our process helps you and your child decide together.
Three steps to join us
- Book a tour. Visit on a school day, watch the studios at work and ask our guides anything. Tours last about 60 minutes. Book a tour →
- Audition. Your child spends time in their studio. Learners and guides get to know them, and they get a real feel for Acton.
- Enroll. If it’s a fit for everyone, we’ll send your enrollment packet and welcome you to the tribe.
Who Acton is for
Acton works best for families who want their child to own their learning, and for children who are ready to take on challenges. Learners don’t need to be ahead or behind; they need to be willing to try.

Ways to make tuition work
- Georgia Promise Scholarship: eligible families can use it toward tuition. Learn about the Promise Scholarship →
- Georgia tax-credit scholarships: we partner with GaSSO (Georgia Student Scholarship Organization). Georgia taxpayers can redirect part of their state taxes to scholarships for our learners. A child can’t hold a GaSSO scholarship and a Promise Scholarship at the same time. Visit georgiasso.com
