Overview

Are we preparing our students for the world? This is what we seek to answer as educators. As educators, when we look at the current world, a lot has changed but education is the only industry that seems to still be static. Despite all the education our students receive, are we really preparing them for the world? At Makena School, our aim is to change this. We constantly feel challenged to ensure that our students receive the best foundation and feel prepared for the next steps of their educational journey and lives. We, however, know that education is not only about academics, it is about developing and nurturing a culture of curiosity and learning in our students. We seek to ensure that our students are not only equipped with skills and knowledge that is relevant but that they develop a mindset that is constantly curious and willing to learn and unlearn. Education does not end in school, but it is lifelong and this is the kind of culture we want to instill in our students. We aim to provide holistic education that allows our students to discover, nurture and excel in their abilities. School is not just about academics, hence ensuring that we also provide extra-curricular that allow our students to explore and nurture different interests. We aim to be a progressive school that will lead in trying new education ideas through our inquiry-based learning methods. In compliance with the Competency Based Curriculum provided by the Ministry of Education, we hope to inspire our students to be ‘engaged, empowered and ethical citizens that feel equipped with skills and knowledge that they need to thrive in the 21st century.’
