OUR CAMPUS
Acton Academy at Serenbe is on track to be one of the largest Acton Academies in the world with a new state of the art campus under construction in the Mado Hamlet of Serenbe. The second of four campus buildings opened Fall 2023. Our campus has been created as a learning playground that is designed to nurture and inspire our heroes - from toddler to teenager - as they find their calling to change the world. Created with environmental sustainability at its core, the campus pursues energy independence, closed loop water systems, and biophilic design that maximizes access to nature. Our goal is to become a flagship Acton and lay the foundation for how a school design, environment and pedagogy can support our overall mission.
A SCHOOL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
