Head of School

Carrying Forward a Vision Rooted in Humanity.

At Naavu, my vision is to carry forward a belief born from life itself — that learning is not confined to walls or examinations, but discovered through relationships, reflection, and care.

Our five pillars — Culture, Character, Community, Conviction, and Confidence — shape how we teach and how children grow. Inquiry deepens understanding. Reflection strengthens identity.
Collaboration builds empathy.

Here, children do not prepare for the world as passive participants.

They learn to shape it — thoughtfully and responsibly.

Every question asked.

Every idea shared.

Every act of service.
Education at Naavu is not about achievement alone —

it is about becoming.

Other Heads Pending

Ms Priyaa Awasthi
Middle Years Co-Ordinator

I’ve always felt that learning should begin with curiosity.

In the Middle Years, students are at a stage where they start asking bigger questions — about the world, about themselves, and how things connect. My role is to make sure we create spaces where those questions are taken seriously.

I work closely with teachers to design learning that feels engaging and real, not something students just sit through. When students are given the space to explore, discuss, and reflect, they begin to trust their own thinking.

And that’s when learning starts to feel like something they own.

Mr Anup Gupta
Diploma Programme Co-Ordinator

For me, education is not just about getting students ready for university. It’s about helping them understand how to think, question, and make sense of the world.
In the Diploma Programme, students are dealing with more complex ideas and expectations. My role is to support both students and teachers through that making sure learning feels challenging, but also meaningful.
I believe a good school is built on trust and conversation. When students feel comfortable asking questions, and teachers feel supported to try and reflect, the whole environment changes.
That’s what we try to build here; a space where learning is taken seriously, but people feel at ease within it.

Ms Ankita Roy
Extended Essay Co-Ordinator

I see the Extended Essay as one of the most important parts of a student’s journey.
It’s often the first time they sit with a question for a long time, not to finish it quickly, but to really understand it. That process can be uncomfortable at times, but also incredibly rewarding.
My role is to support students through that; helping them choose questions they genuinely care about, guiding them when they feel stuck, and slowly stepping back as they begin to take ownership of their work.
I don’t treat EE as just another requirement. It’s a space where students learn how to think independently, stay with an idea, and trust their own voice.And that’s something they carry far beyond school.
