Elementary Session One - Call to Adventure Quest - 2024

On the Hero's Journey, the Call to Adventure is the moment when a hero is invited to a life challenge. When the Hero answers that call, the journey begins.

This quest will focus on team-building, working within the studio community, and developing habits and skills that will last a lifetime. 

Per Acton tradition, the Eagles are putting their big-picture thinking, project management skills, and team building into practice by planning and organizing a Lip Dub! The Lip Dub is a full-length music video that dubs over a well-known song. Eagles are responsible for 100% of the process. They plan choreography, filming, editing & publishing. 

The Eagles are also creating new student contracts and rules of engagement this session. By developing new rules at the beginning of each year, the Eagles take ownership of the studio so that they can become confident, effective leaders in the space. 

For our first exhibition, the Eagles will screen their Lip Dub that will demonstrate their hard work and team building in this session. They will also showcase their interpretation of the Hero’s Journey through a studio-wide game that they create! 

We are so excited for this year, and we’re so honored that you’ve chosen Acton Academy West for your young heroes. Let’s begin the adventure!
