    As a learner at Acton Academy, I promise to:

  • Make courageous choices-Acton learners step outside their comfort zones, face challenges with courage, and stand for what is right.

  • Keep my promises and take responsibility for my actions-When Acton learners fall short, they admit it honestly and accept the natural consequences—growing stronger from each experience.

Failure to uphold these standards may result in a family meeting and, if necessary, termination of enrollment.

6. Code of Conduct & Honor Code

We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and empowering learning space. Harassment, bullying, or disruptive behavior from students, parents, or guardians will not be tolerated.

1. Persisting in victim language after being guided toward growth and responsibility.

2. Harassment/bullying of any kind, including hitting, pushing, threatening or other verbal/physical aggression.

3. Disregard or disrespect for the Studio Contract (the Studio Contract is different from the Honor Code),
