"The methodology, focus and intensity of the FEE curriculum propel the student directly and deeply into the prescribed subject matter." Steve Ives, University of Oklahoma
The Highest form of greatness is the genius and generosity to multiply the effectiveness of others.
As a teacher, you have a direct and immediate impact on the lives of your students. Your students then become entrepreneurs who affect the lives of their employees, the customers, and their community. Those people, in turn, influence others. Much like the idea of "pay it forward", one teacher can effect great change in the world. Acton Foundation teachers have impacted the lives of thousands of student throughout the years.
Student Quotes:
"As I look back at the year I spent learning from Acton's experienced and dedicated entrepreneur teachers, I am filled with emotion, gratitude and a deep commitment to serve. As one of our teachers taught us, serving customers, investors, employees and the community is a path to fulfill our deepest desires to find a life of meaning."

"The teachers have given me the chance to see first hand that it is not only possible, but probable, that I can have a rewarding life at work as well as a fulfilling life with my family and in my community."
The Acton Foundation alumnus, Class of 2007
"The curriculum taught me how to build a company with the end in mind. I sold my investment bank and had money, a rolodex, and the desire to make a difference in the world. To be a principal instead of an agent. After understanding how to make money as an operator I was able to identify a niche and make money in an industry and environment that never feels like work. I created the culture for my employees I had always wanted. They thank you and I thank you"

"A key ingredient for me was the real world experience the entrepreneur-teachers brought to bear throughout the program. These folks don't just know theories about starting and running businesses - they've done it. And now, even years after going through the program, I find myself using those important lessons with others - lessons that only experience can provide."
