Mary Queen of Heaven prides itself on data-driven learning, ensuring that we meet the needs of our students academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. All programs are grounded in evidence-based research, and our approach to instruction in mathematics and literacy is aligned with the Science of Learning and the Science of Reading. We personalise the curriculum to ensure that every learning opportunity is designed to meet the unique needs of each individual learner.
Our small group instruction is targeted to the learning level of each student, while small group, partner, and whole group learning opportunities encourage learners to be social, interactive, and collaborative. These practices foster the development of essential learning dispositions and Habits of Mind, empowering students to become self-driven, assessment-capable learners.
Cultivating a growth mindset, we believe that all learners can grow, learn, and flourish. This aligns with MACS’ vision for instruction, which is to create engaging, evidence-informed practices that inspire every child to reach their full potential.
