To inspire each person who enters our doors to find a calling that will change the world.
We reimagine school as a launchpad for life—not just a place to memorize and test. Here, learners take ownership of their growth, master essential skills, and develop the character needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Why choose Apollo Academy over the “best traditional school” down the street?
Because you want more than worksheets and test prep. You want a school that builds real capability—academics, character, and the confidence to navigate life. Apollo Academy is a bold alternative to traditional school—where children are trusted with real responsibility, supported by clear systems, and inspired to grow into curious, capable, and confident human beings. As part of the global Acton Academy network, Apollo blends mastery-based academics, hands-on projects, and learner-driven choice to create a school that feels less like a classroom and more like a workshop for life.
