“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This timeless proverb reflects Sai Bhavya Prabhu’s philosophy of education—empowering learners with skills, understanding, and enduring learning that prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

As Head of International Curriculum at Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon, Bhavya champions concept-based teaching and learning, a framework that nurtures deep understanding, critical thinking, and transferable knowledge. Her leadership is defined by a belief that education must inspire agency, adaptability, and collaboration—values she sees as essential for thriving in a changing world.

Over the course of her career, Bhavya has held several key leadership roles—Accreditation Coordinator, ATL Coordinator, DP-MYP Coordinator, CAS Coordinator, Head of Sciences, and Grade Head—shaping diverse aspects of school development. She also contributes extensively to the global IB community as a team leader for IA moderation, IB examiner, consultant, and school authorisation team visitor across MYP, DP, and CP programmes.
