Andrew Collins
HEAD OF SCHOOL & GUIDE
My greatest passions in life are to love others, imagine new opportunities, and inspire people to be their best selves. I am proud to support a community of brave and caring Acton families along side my wife, Alicia, and 3 children: Alina, Adeline, and Archer.
ZANNOS GREKOS
DISCOVERY STUDIO APPRENTICE GUIDE
My deepest joy comes from living a life of service, staying rooted in my faith, and showing up fully for the people around me. Outside of school, you might find me deep in conversation over coffee, rereading a favorite book with a pen in hand, or cooking a big Greek meal for friends and family.

SPARK STUDIO LEAD GUIDE
I find true joy in guiding children from diverse cultural backgrounds—it's a passion that continues to inspire me every day. Outside of school, you’ll often find me country dancing, exploring new places, hiking the red rocks of Sedona, or spending time with my beloved animals.
MARLEY FELICE
Outside of school, you might find me writing my first book, rereading Harry Potter for the thousandth time, or traveling when I get the chance. My deepest joy, though, comes from being a wife, a dog mom, and spending time with my family.
