Primary Years (PYP)

At Naavu, a proposed IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) school, we follow a curriculum built for curious minds and open hearts. Most importantly, we follow the child.

Learning to read

Reading opens up the world. It builds imagination, language, empathy, and confidence. It’s more than a skill. It’s the foundation for everything else children will learn.

At Naavu, we guide each child to become a joyful and capable reader by meeting them exactly where they are.

Solid Foundations
Children begin with structured phonics, learning how letters sound, blend, and build into words
Real and Relevant Texts
Children are encouraged to explore different strategies and talk through their thinking.
Support for Every Learner
English language learners get visual cues, extra time, and encouragement to grow in fluency and confidence.
A Culture of Reading
With daily read-alouds, cozy library corners, and quiet time with books, reading becomes a habit children love.

Our Approach: Comprehensive and Inclusive

We blend structure with story, creating a path where all children can find their voice through reading, with purpose, patience, and joy.

Learning math

Math builds more than numeracy. It grows logic, confidence, and problem-solving. At Naavu, we treat math as a way of thinking, not just a subject to memorize.

Our approach helps children see math in the world around them and understand the “why” behind the “how.”

Strong Foundations
We focus on number sense early on, using stories, visuals, and games to make math feel real and relatable.
Problem-Solving Mindset
Children are encouraged to explore different strategies and talk through their thinking.
Everyday Applications
From measuring in the garden to planning a class project, math becomes a tool they use with purpose.
Encouraging Progress
We celebrate effort and growth, helping children feel proud of how far they’ve come, not just how fast.

Our Approach: Purposeful, Practical

Our math lessons are built to help every child grow in clarity, creativity, and confidence; one discovery at a time.

Learning support

Every child learns differently. At Naavu, we create a learning environment where each student feels seen, supported, and safe to grow. Our support is personal, responsive, and always designed around the child.

Tailored Plans
Our learning specialists work with teachers and families to support individual needs of the student; academically, socially, and emotionally.
English Language Support
For children learning English, we offer gentle scaffolds and daily opportunities to grow in confidence and communication.
Wellbeing First
From check-ins to calm spaces, we build routines that support mental and emotional health alongside learning.

Our Approach: Inclusive and Individualized

Support at Naavu is not a program. It’s a mindset that reflects in everything we do. A unique mindset that believes every child deserves to thrive in their own way.
