OUR VISION

Holistic Education
We focus on the holistic development of children, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of wonder. Our curriculum is designed to cultivate imagination, problem-solving skills, and a love for learning, ensuring children are inspired to explore the world around them.
Age-Appropriate Learning
We emphasize learning that is age-appropriate and tailored to the developmental stages of each child. The curriculum is designed to align with children’s natural growth, focusing on hands-on, project-based learning rather than early academic pressures. This method ensures children engage meaningfully with their learning at every stage.

Art and Handwork
We place a strong emphasis on arts and handwork, including activities such as painting, drawing, music, and crafts. These creative activities help develop fine motor skills, coordination, and self-expression, while also sparking imagination and creativity in our students.
Community and Social Skills
Building a strong sense of community and enhancing social skills are at the core of our educational philosophy. Through cooperative play, group activities, and collaborative projects, we help children develop teamwork, empathy, and social awareness.

Nature and Outdoor Education
We believe in the transformative power of nature and outdoor education. Our curriculum integrates gardening, farming, and outdoor exploration, encouraging a deep connection with the environment. This fosters a sense of environmental stewardship and teaches children how to live in harmony with the natural world.
Limited Technology Use
In today’s digital world, we limit technology use, particularly for younger children. Instead, we focus on hands-on, sensory experiences, and human interaction. This encourages healthy development, imaginative play, and stronger social skills, helping children to connect with the world around them in meaningful ways.

Individualized Learning
At Naranaya, we understand that each child is unique. Our approach to learning is individualized, allowing students to progress at their own pace and develop their own talents and interests. Teachers provide personalized attention, ensuring every student receives the support they need to flourish.
Nature as Our Teacher
In our Science and Sustainable Living classes, students learn through the interconnectedness of ecosystems, fostering curiosity, empowerment, and critical thinking. This approach teaches them how to live in balance with nature. Coupled with our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) approach, students not only gain academic knowledge but also develop essential life skills, values, and attitudes for the future.
