Learning Beyond the Classroom

Nature is our greatest teacher!
At Acton Academy Mt. Rose, the outdoors is more than just a backdrop—it’s an essential part of the learning experience. Our learners spend their days exploring, discovering, and engaging with the world around them, fostering a deep connection to nature and a sense of responsibility for the environment.

Hands-on experiences in outdoor spaces spark curiosity, encourage independence, and promote real-world problem-solving. Whether climbing, building, observing, or creating, our learners develop resilience, teamwork, and a love for adventure that stays with them for life.
