MAREAS DISCOVERS
Students at Mareas Academy are encouraged to explore the world around them.
Classes are interactive and often involve projects, field trips, and exploration. We believe that learning should be a lifelong process and building the foundations early helps students to take responsibility for their own education and future. Learning through discovery is a dynamic process which encourages creativity, critical thinking and curiosity. Through this process our students also discover who they are as individuals. All students are encouraged to cooperate, help and support one another through this process.
