The company behind Maius
GeoActive BV helps schools and degree programmes organise education around learning goals. Maius, our learning goal tracking system, is a trade name of GeoActive BV.
Who we are
GeoActive is your partner in education logistics. We work for secondary schools and for programmes in higher education. Our starting point: teachers and curriculum committees should be able to focus on teaching itself. We are happy to take care of the organisation around it.
Our team brings not only educational expertise but also expertise from the business world: information analysis, business processes, software development and communication. That is why we look at a curriculum the way a logistics specialist looks at a supply chain: what needs to be ready where and when? And how do we keep it that way?

Why Maius is called Maius
Maius is Latin for the month of May: the month in which everything comes into bloom. In the right context, Maius also means more and greater.
The name reflects what we believe. You grow and flourish when you trust your own talent and your own strength. That is only possible when there is room to discover your talents and pitfalls, at your own pace and level. And when there is room to experiment.
Room for talent
Learning at your own pace and level, with a clear view of what you have already mastered.
Learning moments
You can learn from mistakes. In fact they do not exist: we prefer to call them learning moments.
Challenges
We think and act in terms of challenges rather than problems. That keeps us open to possibilities.
What we provide
Software, guidance and training. You choose what suits your school or programme.
Maius learning goal tracking system
The platform where curriculum, projects, evidence and assessment come together. Progress and promotion per learning goal, for pupils, teachers and school leaders.
Guidance for school teams
Support tailored to the school's vision and the team's needs: bespoke educational design, coaching-based teaching, inquiry-based learning and making the most of the talents within the teaching team.
Computer science teacher training
A practical course for qualified teachers who want to teach computer science: subject knowledge, didactics and project-based learning.
In practice
... a pupil tracking system in which pupils see for themselves what percentage they have mastered ...
Spring High, Amsterdam
A school for teenagers with more than 350 pupils. Promotion was decided per learning goal, leading seamlessly to the vmbo, havo or vwo tracks. SLO, the Dutch curriculum institute, published several reports about it.

Learning goals achieved in interdisciplinary projects. With Maius, the team avoided overlap between projects and safeguarded alignment with the curriculum.
