    How is Acton Academy different?

    Acton Academy Bucharest is fundamentally different from traditional schools. There are no bells and no lectures. Learners are in control of their own learning and empowered to take charge of their own educational journey. Specifically:

    • Learner-driven, self-paced learning;
    • No teacher as an authority figure;
    • Real-world projects and apprenticeships;
    • Multi-age/ grade classes;
    • Learner’s self-governance;
    • Exploration and assessment of skill levels, learning styles, aptitudes, personality traits, and interests;
    • Guides rather than teachers;
    • Socratic discussions rather than lectures;
    • Mastery learning and portfolios of achievements rather than grades.
