Recommended Usage

We recommend daily usage of 30+ minutes as Maestro is integral to teaching learning and assessment.

We recommend Britannica School replaces general internet searches within your school. Through daily use and interaction, students will be better equipped to research independently and become more knowledgable about the subjects they are studying.

Most Helpful Reviews

Curriculum Maestro

Maya tafsir, Teacher: It is an amazing platform
Louise Burridge, Principal: Up to date, easily accessible and challenging for all
Cherida Gibson, Nurture Coordinator: It's a fantastic system that helps planning, tracking and assessment. It's just a very difficult system to use and can be complicated to find the areas that you need. It would be great if the system was easier to use and simpler to navigate.

Carla, 2nd grade teacher: Because offers lots of tools, apart from the main one
Marie V, Librarian: I think it´s a great tool, but we do have to work hard to get the students and teachers to use it rather than go straight to the internet
