Acton Academy: San Diego East
Helps K-6th grade students discover and grow their unique strengths because the world needs them.
Courage to Grow is not a "how to" book, but a fast-paced story of courageous families who found more compelling ways to learn and grow.


Hi, my name is Mandy Callister, director of Acton Academy: San Diego East. School as we know it was designed in 1893. Acton was born different. Acton Academy is one of the newest and most innovative (and downright coolest) school designs in the world. Each Acton school was founded by parents who believe there is a better way to educate their children and help other like-minded families in their community.

What Is Acton Academy?
What Exactly Is The Difference Between Acton Academy And Other Schools?

Acton Academy: San Diego East is a self-paced learning environment that is designed to foster responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork. Acton students are empowered to thrive in a world that needs independent, motivated thinkers and learners.

We believe students learn by doing. Whether it’s launching a startup business, creating a tidepool habitat, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot, Acton students are building real-life skills in the classroom every day.

We encourage our students to develop personal virtues
such as hard work, responsibility, kindness and empathy. Armed with purpose and good character, we believe our students will launch into adulthood prepared to find their calling and change the world.
