Our Philosophy
Leaders in experiential joyful learning, student-centered growth, and a culture of creativity, innovation, and well-being.
Action Day is a leader in experiential and relevant learning, constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our students. We have a reputation for providing a broad and balanced, holistic, values-based education with an emphasis on joy for learning at all levels. Students are at the center of our educational practice.
Our experienced educators nurture the growth of each student – socially, emotionally, and academically. Action Day fosters a culture of care and well-being, creating optimal conditions for creativity and innovation to thrive.
Our schools’ doors opened in 1968 with the desire to celebrate and grow a child’s sense of marvel and curiosity. Our founders recognized the tremendous learning that happens during a child’s development and sought to provide programs that capitalized on this curiosity to promote emotional, physical, and social growth. We believe our whole child approach has far reaching influence that drives multi-faceted success that endures through elementary school, middle school, and even adult life.
Over all the years of operation, we have maintained a philosophy that encourages what we call a “semi- structured program.” Teachers set specific goals for each child that responds to their academic and emotional needs. The children are “led to” not “made to” take part in these activities. We feel that this semi-structured program optimizes individual growth and promotes intellectual freedom.
