Orientation Morning - 15 August 2025
Our youngest learners, aged 4 to 5, set the foundations of future academic success and grow essential social and cognitive skills through play-based learning in a safe and caring environment.
At our international school in Hanoi, youngest learners grow life skills, stay physically active, learn basic literacy, mathematical reasoning and understand the world through purposeful play.
Students fast-track English proficiency immersed in an English-speaking environment while continuing to grow in their home languages, including Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese.
Learners discover and nurture their talents in a fun way choosing from 50+ exciting extra-curricular activities, including sports, dance, arts and Vietnamese cultural workshops.
Children nurture essential social, emotional and cognitive development, promoting autonomy, responsibility, collaboration and respect for peers, adults and the world around us.
Students benefit from low staff-to-child ratios that allow for personalised attention and creation of deep bonds, ensuring that potential Additional Learning Needs are addressed early on.
Our teachers partner up with parents to share updates, observations and improve learning experiences for our youngest learners.
Learners grow, explore and progress in their own play areas and carefully designed activity spaces.
Students can start their Early Years journey any time of the year. Our Admissions team stands ready to accompany families through the application process.
Through purposeful play and teacher-guided activities, students enjoy memorable moments that spark curiosity and joy. They explore, enquire and develop essential critical thinking skills in a safe setting.
Making learning fun Â
Through teacher-guided play, children enhance their social, physical, verbal and early reading skills.
Activities such as art, music, role-play and interactive games provide diverse opportunities for growth, allowing students to explore, create and innovate in a nurturing environment.
This approach ensures that learning is dynamic and student-led, promoting curiosity and confidence as children navigate their educational journey.
