Our Story: The Vision Behind Wildfire Academy
As parents deeply committed to empowering the next generation with a transformative Christian worldview, we faced a great challenge: How could we fan the flame of curiosity and independence in our children through their education?
​
Our experiences with both public and private education—as learners and teachers—left us concerned. The traditional system did not cultivate what we longed for: a firm belief in each child's purpose, dynamic social skills, and a deep passion for the world around them. We began to dream of a different kind of school.
​
Then, we discovered Acton Academy, a learning model built on principles we had been envisioning for our children. Its emphasis on student-driven learning, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving aligned perfectly with our mission.
​
We believe a Montessori-based Method provides an incredible foundation for hands-on, child-led learning. We also firmly believe that incorporating entrepreneurial skills into the learning curriculum, equips the learners with the tools to think creatively, take ownership of their learning, and build a future where they can thrive.
Inspired to make a difference in children's lives; we set out to build a school where every child could embark on a hero’s journey to discover their calling and impact the world.
​
Wildfire Academy exists to ignite a love for learning, empower students as leaders, and cultivate a generation of independent thinkers who will boldly pursue their God-given purpose.
