Teaching & Learning

Our Approach

Four pillars of learning at Maia

Our teaching and learning approach rests on four foundations - each supported by the school's philosophy.

Approach to be confirmed
  • Pillar 1

    How We Teach

    Teachers at Maia use a mix of methods: direct instruction for new concepts, group work for practice, and projects for deeper understanding. No single method fits every student, so we adapt.

    • Mix of teacher-led, group and independent work
    • Small groups so students get individual attention
    • Regular feedback, not just end-of-term exams
    • Students encouraged to ask questions in class
  • Pillar 2

    Technology in the Classroom

    Every classroom has a digital screen, and students use computers regularly. We teach coding from Grade 4, and teachers use digital tools to make lessons more interactive not to replace teaching.

    • Digital screens in every classroom
    • Computer lab with regular timetabled sessions
    • Coding and robotics from Grade 4
    • Safe, supervised internet use
  • Pillar 3

    How We Assess

    We assess students regularly through classwork, homework, quizzes and exams. Parents receive report cards each term, and we hold parent-teacher meetings to discuss progress.

    • Regular classwork and homework checks
    • Termly exams and report cards
    • Parent-teacher meetings each term
    • Extra support for students who need it
  • Pillar 4

    Beyond the Classroom

    School is more than books. Students can join sports teams, music classes, art clubs, dance groups and community service projects. We also organise annual events like Sports Day and Cultural Programme.

    • Sports, music, art and dance clubs
    • Annual Sports Day and Cultural Programme
    • Field trips and excursions
    • Community service activities
