When was the last time you asked your parents for advice? Today’s guest Nick Dadas brought up the fact that despite him being a father himself, he still wants to ask his dad on his thoughts when he is about to make a big decision. His reason? Because he knows that his dad has been through life, and has made a lot of the decisions that he is debating on making. If your parents are still around, consider asking for their opinion. This was just one of the points I enjoyed from today’s episode.

Nick’s Bio:

Like all parents, as our children approached school age we started thinking about education. We wondered if a traditional school would continue to nurture their passion, curiosity, and love of learning. Will it help them become confident, independent, gritty, and self-aware? Will school prepare them for a fulfilled, successful life in the 21st century? 

 

When we learned about Acton Academy, we thought ‘if that existed in Cleveland, we would definitely send our children there!’ We were intrigued by the idea of the Hero’s Journey, of learners with freedom to own their own experience,  and of a tight-knit community of learners holding each other accountable. The standards of excellence are high, and success is not about completing worksheets or memorizing facts for a test. The goal is bold yet simple: every child will find their God-given calling to change the world. 

 

After over a year of prayer and discussion, we decided to use our entrepreneurial, business background to follow a calling to bring the Acton model to Cleveland. We wanted this for our children and for other families that desire a new, innovative approach to education!
