Your child is destined to change the world.

A 21^st century learner-driven school in Kuala Lumpur

First in Asia, Acton Academy KL is an innovative Preschool through to High-School launched in 2016. We believe that each learner who enters our doors is a hero destined to change the world.

Acton Academy KL is part of the Acton Academy network — a growing network of learner-driven communities worldwide.

We believe it is the most nurturing, deep-learning, learner-driven environment in the world, and we’re thrilled to share it with intentional families in our community.

A Learner-driven Community

Our Learner-driven Communities are run mostly by our learners, which we call Eagles.

They are self-directed in charge of their learning.
They create a community together by relational covenants and promises.
They commit to holding each other to high standards.
They take increasing responsibility and ownership of their studios.

Turning Learning Upside Down

Traditional School

Rows of desks and a teacher at the blackboard
Memorization and testing of rules and facts
Report cards measure your success
One teacher lectures to many students
Worksheets just like our grandparents used
School like a factory with bells, shifts, and one-size-fits-all

Acton Academy

Collaborative work like at Google or Facebook.
Acquisition and application of real skills in projects.
Personalized goals are set, and progress is transparently tracked.
Everyone’s a teacher; everyone’s a student
Professional tools for art, engineering, & storytelling; Cutting-edge adaptive tech for Core Skills
School like a journey, with big goals, mentors, tools, and a destination you care about

Are you frustrated with the old, traditional educational model that teaches students to spit out facts and pass state-mandated tests?
