Teachers & Students

At the NGV, students participate in open-ended learning experiences where their ideas are encouraged and valued. Our inquiry-based approach provokes curiosity, inspires the imagination, and opens doors to new ways of thinking about the world. Our programs are facilitated by experienced educators, are tailored to specific year levels and aligned with key curriculum frameworks and subject areas.
