We don’t see art and music as enrichment.
They are how children process what they see, feel, and think; shaped by the cultures around them and the ones they are discovering.
The Art Studio at NAAVU is designed as an open, flexible space where students can experiment with materials, develop artistic techniques, and explore their ideas visually.
Students work across a range of mediums including drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media, while documenting their creative process through sketchbooks and portfolios. Natural light, flexible work areas, and access to diverse materials support both independent exploration and collaborative projects.
The studio encourages students to observe, reflect, and develop their own artistic voice within the IB inquiry-based learning approach.
Art, for me, is a way for students to explore their ideas and understand the world around them.
I have been teaching IB Visual Arts for over 18 years, bringing extensive experience and passion to the classroom.
In the studio, I encourage students to experiment with different materials and techniques — drawing, painting, ceramics, and mixed media — while developing their own creative voice. What I enjoy most is watching students gain confidence as they begin to express their thoughts and perspectives through their work.
The art studio is a space where students can explore, take risks, and discover what creativity means to them.
The Music Studio provides an environment where students explore music through listening, performing, composing, and responding.
The space is equipped with instruments including guitars, ukuleles, keyboards, drums, and percussion, allowing students to experiment with sound and collaborate with peers. Dedicated practice areas support both group work and individual learning.
Students also work with music technology and digital tools to create and arrange music, helping them understand both the technical and creative aspects of musical expression.
Music is a space where students can express themselves, collaborate with others, and experience different cultures through sound.
In my classes, students learn by listening, performing, and creating music together. They explore instruments like guitars, keyboards, and percussion, and also use digital tools to experiment with composing and arranging music.
What I enjoy most is seeing students develop confidence as they learn new skills and begin to understand how music works.
My goal is to help them experience music not just as a subject, but as something they can enjoy and carry with them throughout life.
At NAAVU, dance is a way of exploring expression, culture, and movement.
The studio is designed to support this; with open space, natural light, wooden flooring, and mirrors that help students become aware of how they move and hold themselves.
A sound-enabled environment allows students to engage with different styles, from contemporary and classical to cultural forms.
More than technique, the focus is on exploration and expression. Students work individually and together; trying, observing, and refining their movement over time.
I see dance as a way for students to understand themselves and the world around them.
In my sessions, the focus is not just on learning steps, but on exploring movement. I wish to create a space where students can try ideas, collaborate with others, and grow more confident in expressing themselves.
Dance becomes a space where students take risks, reflect on their work, and communicate through movement, in ways that feel natural to them.
At NAAVU, theatre is a way of understanding people, perspectives, and the world around us.
The space is designed for movement, voice, and collaboration, where students step into different roles, explore situations, and make sense of ideas through performance.
It supports both structured learning and open exploration, allowing students to experiment, improvise, and build confidence over time.
Through theatre, students learn to listen, respond, and work with others; developing communication, empathy, and a deeper awareness of human experiences.
I see theatre as more than performance.
It’s a space where students explore real-life situations, understand different perspectives, and express what they think and feel in meaningful ways. In our sessions, students work through ideas using movement, voice, and collaboration; often discovering confidence in the process.
The focus is not just on the final performance, but on everything that happens along the way — trying, reflecting, and growing.
