Fostering Emotional Intelligence

At Acton, we recognize the importance of nurturing emotional intelligence alongside academic growth. We believe that strong emotional regulation skills are essential for personal development and play a crucial role in overall well-being.

Therefore, we create a learning environment that goes beyond academics, fostering a space where learners can develop and thrive emotionally. This allows them to build confidence, navigate challenges effectively, and establish healthy relationships - skills that benefit them both inside and outside the classroom.

Rooted in Culture, Shaping the Future

As the first Acton Academy in Nicaragua, we hold a special place - rooted in our cultural heritage while shaping the future of learners. We prioritize preserving the richness of the Spanish language alongside English, recognizing its significance in Nicaragua's identity.

Our commitment extends beyond academics. We actively strive to drive positive social impact and community development, fostering a sense of responsibility and engagement among our learners.

Join us in celebrating our cultural roots and empowering future generations to make a positive difference - both within the classroom and beyond.

until I saw it with my own eyes. The lessons of self-management and self-governance have prepared our fifth-grade daughter to be a lifelong learner.”
