Nova's Educational Approach
The
school has a very caring environment, and it is also where parents are seen as
partners. We are always upgrading,
improving and enhancing not only our school systems, but also our student’s
academics, emotional well-being and safety.
Nova Primary believes that the overall educational experience instils
the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and values that students will carry with them
for life. We set a new standard in premium private education with hand-picked
teachers and a dedication to excellence that permeates every aspect of our
Primary Department. Integrating innovative, challenging and enriching academic,
performing arts and sports Clubs and Activities, Nova’s students leave with
outstanding results, a love of learning, confidence and a firm value system
that prepares them to embrace the challenges life throws at them in their
future endeavours."
We
believe that “no child should be left behind”, and offer intervention plans
free of charge for our students who are in need of extra support.
We have a

• Students are motivated to study
self-reliantly through research and fact-finding.
• Synchronous and asynchronous
communication with teachers and other students.
• One-to-one parent-teacher meetings.
• Contemporary approach to teaching
material.
• Teaching material is organised
following a hierarchy based on the curriculum in terms of themes, topics and
units.
•Teaching material is organised
from known to unknown, from theoretical to practical and from easier to more
comprehensive.
• At the beginning of each Topic or
theme, learning objectives and outputs are defined clearly along with the
activities planned for each unit.
• Lesson planning is carried out
with the view to applying strategies for grabbing students’ attention and
perception.
• Materials are adapted to students’
various learning styles and prior knowledge, while being accommodated in the
students’ learning context.
• At the end of each theme, there is
a theme task, which activates students’ knowledge and encourages them to apply
personal experiences while developing a problem-solving strategy.
• The learning process is regarded
as highly contextual and personal, yet shared with the learning community.
