Acton Academy Mt. Rose

Happy Mother’s Day to the original superhero in a child’s life.

March 18th is Global Recycling Day, a reminder that even small actions can make a big difference.

Many of us know the phrase Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, but what does it really mean?

Reduce means using only what we truly need. Reuse means finding new ways to use things instead of throwing them away. Recycle means turning used materials into something new.

These simple habits help take care of the Earth we all share. When children learn to be thoughtful about the world around them, they begin to see how their everyday choices matter.

At Acton Academy Mt. Rose, learners are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, and think about how their actions impact their communities and the world around them. Caring for our environment is one small way we practice responsibility for the future.

Happy St. Patricks day!

Every learner has a treasure inside them. Not at the end of a rainbow, but in their curiosity.

"At Acton Academy Mt. Rose, I get to witness something incredible every day. Learners are trusted with responsibility, independence, and the freedom to explore their questions. Through real challenges and meaningful work, they begin to discover their gifts and who they are meant to become."

-Amy Novak, Founder

I believe education is a magical thing. It gives learners the opportunity to discover who they are and what they want to become.

Here in Nevada, we value independence, innovation, and the courage to build something new. I believe that same spirit lives inside every child.

At Acton Academy Mt. Rose, I see what happens when learners are trusted to ask questions, explore ideas, and take ownership of their journey. Curiosity grows into confidence. Confidence grows into leadership.

“Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last.”
— Samuel Johnson

Did you know? Thomas Jefferson, one of our country’s Founding Fathers, strongly advocated for education and believed it to be a fundamental human right. He argued that an educated and informed society encourages the best in its people and is essential to self-government, as citizens must be knowledgeable to preserve liberty and guide meaningful change.

Acton Academy Mt. Rose evokes these values, building self-governed leaders. If you have any questions feel free to message me for questions and check out our website today.

As the founder of Acton Academy Mt. Rose, this quote captures exactly why we exist.

Learning is not something we postpone until adulthood. It is not a checklist to complete before the “real world” begins. It is happening right now in the questions our learners wrestle with, the businesses they launch, the exhibitions they present, and the courage they build when something feels hard.

At Acton Mt. Rose, our learners are not preparing to live someday. They are living. They are solving real problems. They are setting goals. They are leading discussions. They are discovering who they are and what they are capable of.

Education, when done well, is not about memorizing information. It is about building character, resilience, and purpose. It is about helping young people see that their voice matters today, not years from now.

That is the kind of life we are cultivating every single day inside our studio.

Big journeys start with small steps… and enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year at Acton Academy Mt. Rose is officially open. 💛

If you’re exploring something different for your family, something more learner-driven…we’d love to meet you.
