Every child is UNIQUE and TALENTED and deserves to find a calling that will CHANGE THE WORLD.
Dynamic, talented, intelligent children need a dynamic and immersive environment to develop their inherent talents and succeed in the 21st century. They need the Acton model of education.
Imagine children, like yours, boldly pursuing their dreams with creativity and grit. This vision is more than a concept; it's a chance for your child to uncover their hidden talents and potential. They have dreams ready to be ignited, and our event could be that vital spark. I'm Rob Orlando, founder of Aspiring Phoenix. Faced with uncertainties about our three boys' future, my wife Kim and I felt a familiar parental dilemma. Drawing from our diverse backgrounds in coaching, engineering, and project management, we sought a unique solution. Our quest led us to Acton Academy, introduced through a TEDx talk by co-founder Jeff Sandefer. This serendipitous discovery, whether by chance or fate, presented us with a new path. It was a silent call, deep and resonating, guiding us towards what we needed to create. The Aspiring Phoenix Foundation where Montessori meets Harvard Business School to create an education like no other.
