Premiere Learner-Driven Education in Redding, CA

Acton Academy Redding is a place that trusts and empowers children, preparing them for a future of constant change and opportunity.

Reimagine Education.

At Acton Academy Redding, we have reimagined education and brought it back to real life: preparing learners for the 21st century through a holistic approach. Our learners develop essential skills for the future such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration-- all skills that current industry leaders say are lacking in the upcoming workforce.


We offer a learning center for students ages 5 years through age 18 that empowers children to take responsibility for their own learning in a tight-knit community that fosters joy, accountability, and character. Learners are free to be themselves and embraced for who they are as they navigate all kinds of challenges, catalyzing a beautiful growth process over the long-term.

Young people ready for the real world.
