The Process
Thank you for considering Acton Academy Eastern Long Island! Our enrollment process is designed to ensure we are the right learning environment to meet your family’s needs. To start the enrollment process, please work your way through the following steps:
Learn About Acton
First, explore our website, as well as the Acton Academy Main Website. Once you have a general understanding of the Acton model, we recommend reading Courage To Grow, as it is the foundation for Acton Academy’s methodology. Additionally, these resources are a great place to gain an in-depth understanding:
- Youtube video: “How To Run A School w/ 3 Adults Or Less” -The Dad Saves America Show
- Youtube video: “Acton Academy Disruptive Education” -Acton Academy
- Youtube video: “The Learner Driven Revolution” – Founder Jeff Sandefer
The Questionnaire
When you’re ready, email us at [email protected]. We will provide an in-depth questionnaire to help us get to know your family and your child.
The Meeting
After we receive the application, we will schedule time with the prospective learner and parent(s)/guardian(s) to visit the school and go over the questionnaire and answer any questions you may have about Acton ELI.
In-Studio Try-out
If it is mutually agreed that Acton ELI offers a highly promising fit and everything is aligned, the prospective learner will be invited to spend 2-5 full days in the Acton ELI studio. This pre-admissions “try-out” experience is designed to ensure that Acton ELI provides the right learning environment to meet your family’s needs, and vice versa. Please note, parents are not permitted to take part in the studio try-out.
Invitation to Enroll
The final step is receiving an invitation to enroll in the Acton ELI learner community. Upon completion of all the steps, Acton ELI will inform you of our decision within one to two weeks.
Tuition
Please connect with us to discuss monthly tuition.
