The Forest School: An Acton Academy - Fayetteville, Georgia

The Forest School has been an absolute game-changer for my child’s education. The self-paced, learner-driven approach allows students to take ownership of their learning.

The small class sizes, hands-on projects, and supportive community create an ideal environment for kids to explore, ask questions, and grow. The school also places a strong emphasis on character development and critical thinking—two things that are so important in today’s world.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the rigid, test-driven education system, The Forest School is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend it to any parent who wants to see their child love learning again!

Our three kids all attend this school and we are so thankful for the help and understanding they have received here. Their transition was quite a change coming from a very traditional European education, and our youngest didn’t even speak English when we got here. The school’s staff and guides (teachers) have been incredible in supporting them to adjust, providing individualized support to meet the needs of each one of them.
They have thrived, grown much (MUCH) more confident and independent, in addition to being successful academically.

Furthermore, connecting with people around us who have become like family has been incredibly enriching, particularly as expatriates.

The school has really welcomed us into the community and we could not be more thankful for the positive, supportive environment that they’ve created for our family.

Our daughter has been at The Forest School: An Acton Academy for two years, and it has been a truly eye-opening experience. The school’s unique approach to self-directed learning, critical thinking, and personal responsibility has empowered her in ways we never imagined.

We love the supportive and inspiring culture, where students are encouraged to take ownership of their education and grow in confidence, independence, and leadership. The community of guides and families is amazing, making this journey even more rewarding.

If you're looking for a school that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and real-world skills, TFS is the perfect choice!

The Forest School is a great alternative to a traditional school. The format is based on the application of knowledge in real world situations and the Socratic method. I really wish that the Forest School was available when I was in school.

TFS is a dream school that fosters leadership, accountability and collaboration in our youth. Instead of tests and rote memorization, learners are taught how to think critically and master subjects. I highly recommend TFS to any parent, regardless of how you feel about the current educational system.
