Middle School Studio
Forging inner strength, self-discipline, and grit
Ages 12-14
An Overview
Time Management
In the Middle School Studio, students take ownership of their schedules, learning to set goals, prioritize tasks, and manage their time effectively. With the freedom to choose how they work, they develop the self-discipline and responsibility needed for success in high school, college, and life.
Discovering Your Purpose
Middle school is a time of exploration, and at Acton, we encourage students to ask big questions: Who am I? What do I care about? How can I make a difference? Through hands-on projects and deep discussions, they uncover their passions, strengths, and a sense of purpose that fuels their learning.
Apprenticeships
Why wait until adulthood to experience real-world work? At Acton, middle schoolers step beyond the classroom, securing apprenticeships with professionals in fields they’re curious about—gaining hands-on experience, valuable skills, and the confidence to shape their own future.
It is nice to know things… But to begin to know ourselves is a super power this world is hungry for! How are you called to make your greatest impact?
If you want to be ready for the real world… why wait until your childhood is over to step into it?
