Engaging Initiatives
STEAM
Our STEAM program inspires creativity and innovation, engaging students in science, technology, engineering, arts/agriculture, and math through hands-on projects and collaborative learning.
Agriculture
Art
The Power of Arts and Agriculture (AA): We recognize that both the Arts and Agriculture are crucial for fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a commitment to stewardship. The Arts develop communication and innovative problem-solving, while Agriculture provides hands-on, scientific application of engineering and biology to sustainable living and resource management.
Leadership
GMA focuses on community leadership programs that empower students to take initiative, organize events, and enact positive changes within their communities.

Educational Philosophy
GMA and its founder believes that every child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating environment to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.
The philosophy is built on three core elements:
-
The teacher acting as a guide: Teachers provide access to information, allowing students to find answers and construct knowledge through discovery, practice, and hands-on activities.
-
Allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct their learning: The curriculum is centered around student interests to foster intrinsic motivation and stimulate the passion to learn, leading to richer and more rigorous activities as students take ownership of their learning.
-
Promoting respect, endurance, and integrity: Students develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment through an open sharing of ideas (like class meetings) and a judicious approach to discipline, which ensures every student's voice is heard and expectations are clear, fair, and consistent.
Ultimately, GMA's goal as a non-public school is to instill a love of learning and ensure that all students have the right to learn by providing appropriately challenging and relevant learning opportunities.
