Preparing students for university and the world beyond it.
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) at Naavu is designed for students aged 16 to 19 and represents the final stage of the IB learning journey.
At this stage, students engage with subjects in greater depth while developing the independence, research skills, and critical thinking required for university and beyond.
The programme challenges students to think analytically, explore ideas across disciplines, and apply their learning to real-world questions.
In the Diploma Years, students explore complex questions that require research, analysis, and thoughtful discussion.
Analysing texts, data, and real-world case studies
Conducting experiments and research investigations
Writing structured arguments and essays
Presenting ideas through discussions and presentations
The IB Diploma Programme includes six subject groups, allowing students to study a balanced range of disciplines while specialising in areas of interest.
Students choose subjects across areas such as:
In addition to these subjects, the
programme includes three core elements:
Students explore how knowledge is created and how we evaluate what we know.
Students explore how knowledge is created and how we evaluate what we know.
Experiences that encourage students to engage in creative pursuits, physical activity, and community service.
Together, these components develop intellectual curiosity, independence, and global awareness.
Focused. Independent. Structured.
Each day supports academic depth while allowing space for reflection and self-directed work.
Students begin the day with advisory sessions that focus on wellbeing, planning, and reflection. These moments allow students to organise their work, check in with mentors, and prepare for the academic day ahead.
Students engage with their chosen IB subject groups such as:
• Mathematics (Analysis & Approaches)
• English Language & Literature
• Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
• Economics
• Business Management / Psychology
• Language Acquisition (French / Spanish)
Classes are discussion-based and inquiry-driven, encouraging students to analyse ideas, debate perspectives, and apply knowledge to global contexts.
Students explore real-world themes through projects, discussions, and collaborative investigation.
Examples include:
• community and environment
• how systems work
• sustainability and innovation
Hands-on labs where students apply learning across subjects:
• Brick Lab / Maker Space – design thinking, building, engineering
• STEM Explorers Lab – science experiments, robotics basics, coding logic
• Art Studio – drawing, visual storytelling, creative design
• Theatre & Storytelling Lab – communication, performance, imagination
• Debates & Research Studio – discussion, inquiry, critical thinking
• Innovation & Sustainability Studio – eco-design and environmental awareness
