Given that Acton Academy is a different type of education for your child, what can you expect your child will graduate with?
We love featuring fellow Acton Academy websites and what they’re doing, which is especially so with Kuala Lumpur, as we’re both based in Asia!
Here’s what we especially loved about what students can get by participating in Acton — and it’s what we highlight here at Acton Academy Taipei, as well:
Character Strengths. Students practice being conscientious, curious, entrepreneurial, perseverant, self-aware, self-regulated, and socially intelligent.
Cognitive Skills. Students develop strong habits of the mind, such as communication, inquiry, analysis, and synthesis, diagnosis, innovation, reasoning, and managing complexity.
Global Citizenship. Students spend time abroad, collaborate with foreign counterparts, and learn to communicate in another language. Our world is increasingly interconnected – our students need to have a global lens and empathy across cultures.
Creation. Students build their creative confidence to develop ideas and solutions through design thinking, engineering, leadership, and through the expression of artistic and emotional beauty.
Purpose. Students explore and develop a talent or passion during their years at KLS, which will be highlighted in their portfolio.
Independence. Students develop the capacity to set, meet, and hold themselves accountable for meaningful goals on their own.
Foundational fluencies include:
Students achieve fluency in reading, writing, math, world languages, computing, and digital literacy.
They are also exposed to deeper learning concepts in wellness, integrated arts, integrated science, civics, physics, chemistry, biology, finance, global societies, economics, and statistics.
Portfolio
While at KLS, students build a portfolio of work that displays mastery across academic and non-academic domains, from core skills to global citizenship, sciences, arts, and beyond.
Transitions
Students who meet the requirements of our graduate profile are fully prepared to achieve success and significance in college, career, and life.
