Parents who know something feels off…
If school doesn’t feel right for your child, you’re not imagining it.

We prepare them for life.

HI, WE'RE
Ronnie and Meghan Esposito
founders of Acton Academy Pittsburgh
Like many parents, we wanted the very best education possible for our three children.
The challenge was that each of our children was completely different, with their own strengths, interests, and passions.
We weren't looking for a one-size-fits-all approach.
We wanted a place where curiosity was protected, character mattered, and young people were trusted with real responsibility.
As we looked at the world our children were growing up in, one thing became clear: the future would demand far more than memorization and test-taking.
Young people would need to be adaptable, self-directed, and capable of solving problems in a rapidly changing world.
When we discovered Acton Academy, it felt like finding something we had been searching for all along.
Today, we're honored to serve families who believe young people are capable of far more than most adults imagine.
What does learning look like at Acton Pittsburgh?
Young people work at their own pace and are challenged at the level they need.
They build confidence by taking ownership of their goals and learning.
They collaborate on meaningful projects that connect learning to the real world.
They develop critical thinking and communication skills through daily discussions.
They strengthen reading, writing, and math using a blend of Montessori materials and adaptive learning programs.
They learn alongside a close-knit community of peers, guides, and families who support them on their journey.
Hear from the families living it every day.
