Acton Academy of Washington, DC is a preschool and elementary school based in Washington, DC, focused on guiding children toward developing an entrepreneurial mindset and discovering a calling. In the elementary program for ages 6 to 9, it merges Montessori principles with Socratic dialogue and entrepreneurial projects. One notable initiative is the Acton Children’s Business Fair in Washington, DC, where children aged 6 to 14 act as entrepreneurs for a day. At the primary level for ages 3 to 6, the school provides an authentic Montessori curriculum in a nurturing, home-away-from-home environment. The school sits within the education administration programs field, offering an alternative approach that blends Montessori pedagogy with entrepreneurial learning. Its program targets families seeking early education that emphasizes inquiry-driven exploration and real-world projects, delivered by a small, Washington, DC–based team.
