Preschool-Kinder

We have a special space for 3-6 year-olds at Acton Academy—the Spark Studio!

Participation in Spark is an excellent way to lay a preschool/Pre-K/Kinder foundation in a nurturing environment with the highest standards of excellence.

For families planning to continue their Acton adventure beyond preschool and Kindergarten, Spark is a bridge between home and the Acton Academy Elementary Studio. Enrolling in Spark is a wonderful way for the whole family to get their feet wet with the systems and culture of Acton Academy!

Children in the Spark Studio:

Listen to and dialogue about excellent stories
Learn kindness and community engagement through high-quality play inside and outside
Begin simple goal setting, reflection, and contract making
Work with Montessori materials to grow their reading, writing, and math skills
Play games that engage their mind, body, and spirit
Participate in beginner Socratic discussions where they learn to articulately agree or disagree with other children

Children may be ready for the Spark Studio when they are:

At least three years old.
No longer napping.
Going to the bathroom independently.
Ready for a full day of school (8:00 am - 3:00 pm).*

*Half days are available upon request for children needing a bridge to full day.

I am just blown away with my child's growth both academically and personally. I know every child is different but broadly speaking, when I compare her to other children her age in traditional schools, she is light years ahead of them. She is such a well-rounded child and I've even seen growth in her EQ... it's just so cool to see her development and I contribute a lot of it to Acton.
