Why choose an Acton Imprimis?Acton is one of the newest and most innovative school designs in the world. Each Acton school was founded by parents who believe there is a better way to educate their children and help other like minded families in their community.

Without grades and homework, how will I know if my student is learning?Students celebrate the mastery of tools, skills, and character by earning badges, assembling portfolios, and taking part in public exhibitions. Public exhibitions allow students to present work to experts, customers, or the public for a real-world test. Parents use our online platform JourneyTracker and the school app (with permission from their learner) to monitor progress in Core Skills like reading, writing, math, and character development. Electronic and hard copy Portfolios capture rough drafts, photos, videos, and other creative work.

How do you regulate screen time and technology use in the classroom?At Monserate Christian Academy, we believe in the power of balance.

The two are highly complementary.
