Thank you for considering AABC! The enrollment process is designed to ensure that AABC is the right learning environment to meet your family’s needs. If you’re considering AABC, we encourage you to work your way through the following steps:

​

Step 1: Learning

First, explore our website. There are a lot of resources and answers here to get you started and ensure you have a basic understanding of what AABC is all about. This includes checking out the Acton-Related Resources page. We highly recommend reading Courage to Grow, as it is the foundation for Acton Academy’s methodology. In addition, check out our social media sites.

​

Step 2: Contact Us 

When you’re ready, email us at actonbergen@gmail.com. We will provide the registration paperwork at this time, answer your questions, and, as needed, set aside time for a more in-depth discussion regarding your learner and whether or not AABC offers the right fit for your family.  

​

Step 3: Complete The Application Forms

Fill out the application forms that we will send to you and ask two teachers or coaches to fill out a profile survey for your child.

​

Step 4: Family Visit 

After we receive the application, we will schedule a time with the prospective learner  and parent(s)/guardian(s) to visit AABC and address any questions.

 

Step 5: In-Studio Try-Outs

If it is mutually agreed that AABC is a highly promising fit for the prospective learner and their parent(s)/guardian(s), the prospective learner will be invited to  spend 2-5 full days in an AABC studio. Contingent upon a successful tryout period, AABC will  take up to one to two weeks to decide whether or not to offer admission to the prospective  learner.

​

Step 6: Invitation to Enroll

Upon completion of steps 1-5, an email will be sent to the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the  prospective learner, asking them to enroll their child in the AABC learner community.

​

Tuition & Fees

​

Our annual tuition is $10,100, plus a non-refundable registration fee of $500. Due to our size limitations, we cannot hold a learner’s spot in the studio (even if he/she has made it through the above steps) without the registration fee. Once the registration fee has been received and successfully processed, then the learner’s admission within the studio is confirmed.

​

Financial Aid

​

At AABC, we believe that a meaningful learning journey should be within reach for families who truly value it, even when tuition presents a financial challenge.

 

As a non-profit, learner-driven school, we are deeply committed to supporting families in need while being mindful stewards of limited resources. Financial aid is awarded each year based on demonstrated need and is not guaranteed or automatically renewed.

​

Because our resources are shared across our entire community, we prioritize financial assistance for families facing and demonstrating a true need.

​

To apply, we ask that families to outline their current circumstances and why financial support is essential for their child’s continued growth at AABC. Supporting documentation must be provided for a full understanding of the family’s financial situation.

​​

In our review process, we look for clear evidence that families have thoughtfully explored and maximized all options to make this opportunity possible. Aid is reassessed annually based on updated needs and available funds.​
