About Us
About Macademia
Macademia is not like school Macademia is a studio-style learning environment where young people explore real-world subjects through hands-on projects.
We focus on building confidence, developing practical skills and helping young people discover what they enjoy.
What makes us different
Our sessions are calm, structured and engaging. Young people don’t just listen — they create, design and explore.
Everything is built around real-world learning that goes beyond the classroom.
Inclusive, individual learning
We welcome every child as an individual.
While Macademia is not a specialist SEND provision, we provide a calm, supportive environment where many young people feel more comfortable than in traditional settings.
Why it matters
Choosing a pathway can feel overwhelming.
We believe it’s better to explore early — helping young people build confidence and gain a clearer sense of direction.
Meet the founders
Natalie and Adriana created Macademia to give young people a different kind of learning experience — one that builds confidence and feels genuinely engaging.
With backgrounds in education, design and working with young people, they saw first-hand that many students don’t thrive in traditional classrooms.
Macademia was built to offer something different — a calm, supportive environment where young people can explore real-world subjects, develop practical skills and feel more confident in themselves.
