Our Mission & Core Beliefs

Actias School serves bright, curious learners facing mental health challenges, and welcomes students regardless of income, neurotype, or identity.

We believe all students deserve real college prep: Social, emotional, and academic readiness.

We value faculty whose character matches their expertise, prioritizing a community grounded in connection, trust, and integrity.

We believe connection to nature is fundamental to mental health, and that time in the outdoors supports regulation and resilience.

Our work extends beyond the individual to the systems that shape them: families, social circles, and the wider community, so that our students develop the internal resources, agency, and strength to move forward with momentum.

We value inclusion.

Actias School is committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic in our admissions, educational programs, services, or employment practices. We strive to create a community where every individual feels respected, supported, and valued.
