At the Gaia Academy we offer an increasing range of curriculum, learner courses, CPD and free resources to support schools, learners and families.
Gaia Academy courses are designed to be flexible, engaging, and adaptable for different learners and learning styles. Whether studying independently, with parental support, or in a classroom setting with a teacher or teaching assistant.
Our learner facing courses provide interest-based, self-paced learning experiences that help students build confidence while staying motivated and engaged.
At Gaia Learning, we’ve developed an accessible, inclusive curriculum for Years 7–9, across the following subjects:
English • Maths • Science • Digital Literacy & PSHE • Global Perspectives & Climate Action • Art & Design • History
Built on the Cambridge Curriculum framework, our curriculum includes clear learning objectives, differentiated assessment rubrics, and detailed lesson plans designed to support learners with special educational needs (SEN) and neurodiverse profiles.
It’s been thoughtfully designed for educators and families supporting young people in a variety of settings—including schools, tutoring, and home education.
From September 2025, every Gaia topic is also available as a learner-facing, self-paced course—ideal for homeschooling, flexible schedules, or catch-up. These versions mirror the live curriculum and include rubrics, suggested activities, and support for independent learning.
Subjects & Units are available to buy for September 2025/6 Academic years. To purchase please contact us.
Our curriculum is built as a three-year spiral, allowing learners to join at any point and still experience the full range of topics over time. While topics don’t repeat, learners can revisit areas if more time or support is needed—deepening their understanding and progressing at their own pace.
This structure is ideal for personalised education, catch-up learning, and mixed-ability classrooms. Whether a learner joins in Year 7, 8 or 9, they will access a rich, full learning journey over the course of the cycle.
Lesson Topics and Inquiry Hooks to spark curiosity and engagement.
Suggested Introductory Teaching Input for whole group or individual delivery.
Learning Objectives tailored to key concepts and ability-appropriate depth.
Differentiated Activities aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy, with Scaffolding suggestions for varied needs and support levels, to ensure all learners can access and engage.
Rubric Criteria for Developing, Secure, and Mastery outcomes - suitable for self-assessment, peer assessment and educator assessment.
You’ll also find links to recommended resources, including videos, articles, interactive tools, and quizzes to help bring the topic to life.
Each lesson comes with customisable rubrics for assessment that adapt to different learning styles, goals, and abilities. These are aligned to the national curriculum & inspired by the Cambridge International curriculum.
Educators and guardians can assess learning against rubrics and track learner progress across lessons and subjectsLearners can self-assess against rubrics, increasing assessment transparency & providing opportunity for improvement.
Learners can request reviews from guardians or assigned educators. Guardians can request Gaia review and moderation of assessments (additional service).
Outcome trackers (coming soon) will link directly to our Gaia Hive platform, providing real-time progress updates for learners, guardians, and educators
