Instead, as a family, you are committing to your personal growth as parents and as individuals. Generations Academy is no ordinary school. We work to inspire parents to parent in a way that helps their child grow and develop into strong and independent thinkers who have a strong moral compass. For your child to be successful at our school, we encourage you to think deeply about your parenting style. We invite parents to avoid hovering over their kids, solving their problems, and attempting at all costs to help their child prevent failure or discomfort. We would like to come beside you and help your child discover who God created them to be.(Required) We are ready! Acton Academy is an excellent fit for parents who: - Put a lot of effort into creating and maintaining a positive relationship with their child. - Explain the reasons behind rules and work to understand their child. - Support natural consequences while considering the child's feelings. - Invest time and energy into preventing behavior problems before they start by having regular problem-solving huddles with their children. - Incorporate positive discipline strategies to reinforce good behavior using growth mindset praise. - Recognize that when your child makes a poor decision, it is essential for them to take responsibility for their mistake and work to make amends. - Continue to grow as a person knowing the best way to lead your family is by example.How comfortable with this type of philosophy are you?(Required) Not Comfortable Somewhat Comfortable Fairly Comfortable Very Comfortable What do you like most about where your child/children is/are attending school now (if they are currently enrolled in a school)?(Required)What do you wish were different at their current school?(Required)What do you think is the best way for your child to learn?(Required)What excites your family most about Generations Academy?

Generations Academy is not staffed to provide specialized support for children with special needs, such as autism or severe and unmanaged ADD/ADHD, behavior challenges, or sensory processing struggles. Children receiving out-of-school support for dyslexia or ADHD or other diagnosed conditions that impact educational needs could potentially do well in our program, provided parents are committed to getting their child the necessary help outside of our school program.I have read the above statement and:(Required) I Accept
