The Foundation Phase (Grade 4-9)

Our Foundation Phase (Grades 4–9)

Supported through our Class Evolve division.The Foundation Phase at Initia Nova Academy offers a warm, structured, and nurturing environment for learners in Grades 4–9. This phase focuses on strengthening essential academic skills, rebuilding confidence, and helping younger students develop healthy learning habits that will support them throughout their academic journey.Our goal is to provide a calm, guided space where students can stabilise, grow, and rediscover their ability to learn — especially if they have previously struggled in traditional school environments.

What Students Receive

Personalised Facilitator Attention

Learners receive high-level guidance with a focus on clarity, routine, and consistent emotional support.

Gentle Pacing for Mastery

We prioritise understanding over rushing, allowing students to progress at a pace that builds confidence and solid foundation skills.

Foundational Skill Building

Students strengthen essential areas such as:

  • reading & comprehension
  • mathematics and numeracy
  • writing basics
  • study habits and focus skills

MobyMax® Integration

We use MobyMax® to identify learning gaps and guide students through personalised digital learning tailored to their level.

Emotional & Behavioural Support

The Foundation Phase supports younger learners with organisation, motivation, behaviour management, and emotional regulation — helping them thrive in a safe, consistent environment.

Preparation for Future Progression

Once ready, learners transition smoothly into:

  • Class Apex for mixed-level or pre-GED support
  • and later, the GED Division (Class Excellsior)

No learner is rushed; each step is based on readiness and confidence.
