About us
Learning is a joy for every child.
Each child grows at a different pace. Each child has unique strengths and challenges. With the right education and the right environment, every child can grow.
That is why we practice education grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) — not based on intuition alone, but on evidence-based methods supported by science.
At MAIS, we nurture more than knowledge. We cultivate the ability to choose, to challenge oneself, and to persevere — building the confidence children need to live independently and participate meaningfully in society.
Educational Philosophy
“Every child is capable of learning.”
- Every child has the right and the potential to learn.
- We are a school where all children — especially those with developmental or behavioral differences — can maximize their strengths.
- Through scientifically validated education and support, we build a lifelong foundation for learning.
- Children themselves are always at the center of everything we do.
The Meaning Behind Our Logo
The MAIS logo represents our educational philosophy through four distinctive symbols, each reflecting a core value of our school.
Flower – Nurturing Curiosity
Bird – Choosing One’s Own Path and Soaring into Society
Book – Building a Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Layers – Growing Through Accumulated Experiences
Surrounding these symbols is the phrase “SEMPER IPSI LIBERI IN MEDIO,” a Latin expression meaning “Children themselves are always at the center.”
