PYP (Grades 1-5)

In Grades 1–5, learning at NOVA builds on the foundations developed in the early years, while gradually increasing academic depth, independence, and responsibility. Students continue to develop a strong sense of curiosity and confidence as learners, supported by clear expectations and thoughtful guidance.

The Elementary School follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), a framework developed by the International Baccalaureate Organization. The PYP emphasizes inquiry-based learning, helping students make meaningful connections across subject areas while developing key skills in thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management.

As students progress through Grades 1–5, they are encouraged to take greater ownership of their learning, ask purposeful questions, and apply their understanding in real-world contexts. Teachers support this growth through well-structured learning experiences that balance academic rigor with care for each child’s individual development.
