Learning at Wildfire
Inside your child is a spark of courage and genius. As parents it is a dream to see that spark grow into a powerful flame. The Acton model ignites a passion for learning, for tangible real-world experiences, and most importantly for pursuing their Godly call to change the world. We are a proud affiliate of Acton Academy. The first Acton was founded in Austin Texas in 2009 by Jeff and Laura Sandefer. Since then, the network has grown to over 350 schools across the world.
