Learn to be curious, become an independent learner, and love life-long learning
Discover your most precious gifts, along with the dedication it takes to develop real talent
Understand the importance of a strong character
Cherish the arts, the wonders of the physical world, and the mystery of life
Treasure economic, political, and religious freedom

2020... Our Education Journey Begins

We took to the streets of the USA to educate our children during the pandemic and quickly realized how much of our children's potential was lying dormant in a traditional classroom.

Founders - Matt & Brittani Johnson

Our Story

After, experimenting with many styles of homeschool we learned that our children needed more to reach their potential.

It seemed like an impossible list.

creativity

curiosity

character

community

challenge, adventure, independence, reading, entrepreneurship, responsibility, critical thinking, charisma

Then we discovered Acton Academy.
But there wasn't one in Oregon. So we got crazy...
