Acton Academy Kingwood—a Montessori-inspired private school—will be opening a new middle school in Porter, owner Cameo Van Duker said.

Explained: The new school is expected to open in August. The middle school offerings will be available on the same campus as the existing school. The school currently serves students in grades pre-K 4-8, but the school will have enough students aging up in the next year to launch an official middle school.

Acton Academy Kingwood is a learner-driven school, Van Duker said. According to the school’s website, the curriculum focuses on:

• Self-paced learning of reading, writing and math skills
• Discussions on heroes, history and self-governance
• Problem-solving and hands-on learning projects
• Interpersonal and community bonding
