What Maius does

Maius is a Dutch educational software company operating as a trading name of GeoActive bv, headquartered in Heerlen, Netherlands, with founding dates referenced back to 1996. The company provides an online learning goal tracking system (MAIUS Leervolgsysteem) designed for Dutch secondary schools (voortgezet onderwijs, VO) and higher vocational education institutions (hogescholen, HBO). The platform centers learning objectives rather than traditional grade-based tracking, supporting both project-based and classroom learning environments by making student progress visible to students and teachers and enabling curriculum alignment across subjects and projects.

The core technology is built on web technologies with a privacy-by-design architecture that processes only necessary educational data and shares no data with commercial parties. Authentication is supported through SURFconext (the Dutch national education identity federation), Google OAuth, and Microsoft OAuth, with encryption during transport (TLS) and role-based access control. Key features include the Leerdoelvolgsysteem (learning goal tracking), Projectonderwijs Support for project-based education, Klassikaal Onderwijs Integration for traditional classroom learning, and integration with educational content such as books, lessons, and modules. The platform is GDPR-compliant with data subject rights documented in a privacy statement dated 02-11-2025.

Maius generates revenue through two streams: recurring subscriptions for the learning management platform provided to schools and professional services (MAIUS Ondersteuning) covering custom curriculum design, talent identification, coaching-based teaching training, and inquiry-based learning facilitation. The go-to-market combines sales-led engagement with Dutch school administrators and community-led growth through peer references, university partnerships, and case studies published through organizations such as NIVOZ. The company operates with a small core team of three members handling product development, consulting, and business development. No external funding has been disclosed, and pricing is not publicly available, with schools required to contact the company directly for account and pricing information.
