The Village School is founded by Lauren and Christian Quinn. Lauren, an educator, and Christian, an entrepreneur, saw the need for a learner driven education in their community. Inspired by the joy and curiosity of their own two boys, they started looking at alternatives to traditional education and discovered Acton Academy in the process. The Village School, an Acton affiliate school will open it's doors this Fall for the 2018-2019 school year. with a Primary Studio (K-1) and Elementary Studio (2-5) and will grow a grade level each year, providing a full K-12 education by 2025.
