A 21st century school in Leander
Invictus is part of the Acton Academy network – a network of true learner-driven micro schools started in Austin in 2009 – and considered by many to be a leading model of K-12 innovation in the United States.

What Parents Are Saying
“My son Zac is loving going to school here! He wakes up excited to go to school, which is amazing in itself. I love the philosophy behind Acton Academies, which allows kids to really step into their own power, and be in control of their own learning.”
- Helen Zhang
“Since she was very young, my 7-year-old daughter was morbidly shy... after just a half year at Invictus, it’s as though she’s been transformed into a braver, more self-confident version of herself... She wakes up giddy with excitement to go to school every day... At the risk of sounding mushy, I’ve shed tears of joy several times in the last 6 months as I’ve watched my daughter blossom and grow both academically and, more importantly, as a little human at Invictus. We LOVE this school.”
- Jedidiah Becker
“Discovering Invictus Action Academy has been a game-changer for our family's educational journey... Choosing Invictus was a conscious decision rooted in the belief that every child possesses talents to shape the world... For those seeking a community fostering a growth mindset, Invictus is undeniably the right place.”
- Steven and Jessie Pryor
“I've been a fan of the Acton Academy concept for years and could not find anything I wanted more for my son… Sarah Max managed to create a very special environment where kids learn and thrive, beyond just the academics. In this school, your child is not a number on a spreadsheet, she/he is an individual on a journey to try and fail and try again, alongside their tribe, in preparation for the road ahead.”
- M. S.
“This is a radically different approach to education... Kids spend a lot of time outdoors and they learn for life skills, not for test scores... Instead of your typical cliques, it's more of a tribe. Highly recommend.”
- Jenée Lamberton
