On the day following “Coffee with 91�Թ���’s Primary Principal”, 91�Թ��� is excited to invite you to the upcoming Intensive English Language Program webinar on Friday, March 15, 2024, at 2:30 PM (ICT). The session will delve into the program’s methodologies, successes, and the vibrant community it nurtures.��

At the heart of 91�Թ���’s inclusive and forward-thinking educational approach is the Intensive English Language Program (IELP), designed to bridge language gaps and empower students for whom English is not a native language. The program is lauded by parents for its comprehensive framework, providing robust support to students who are not yet ready to transition into mainstream education fully.��

The IELP is an academic program, designed to prepare students to succeed academically and amongst a student cohort of more than 60 different nationalities at 91�Թ���. The aim of the program is to aid students with beginner-level English proficiency in adapting to the rigorous academic environment at 91�Թ���. Through an intensive 20-week or 40-week program, students learn to fully engage with an IB-style curriculum covering Maths, Science, Language Acquisition, and Humanities, while improving their fundamental English skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

What sets the program apart from other international schools is that the IELP at 91�Թ��� aligns with the IB Middle Years Program (MYP), ensuring that while the instruction is tailored for varying English language proficiency levels, the content of each lesson remains at the same high standard found in mainstream classes. This content-rich program is inquiry-based and project-driven, offering students a comprehensive educational experience. Outside of academic subjects, students also get the chance to engage in Physical and Health Education, Arts & Design, and Positive 91�Թ��� initiatives, developing the whole child and preparing them for a smooth transition into 91�Թ���’s mainstream MYP classes.

For many students, who are not native English speakers, enrolling at an international school where lessons are taught in English can be a challenge. From entry exams to science lessons or conversations with a classmate from other countries, it can feel daunting for a low-level English student to adapt to school life. 91�Թ��� believes that every child should have an equal chance to learn and thrive, every day. This thinking underpins the Intensive English Language Program.

Parents of IELP students speak volumes about the program’s impact. They appreciate the detailed content and the personalized follow-up each student receives, ensuring that every child’s unique educational needs and learning pace are catered to. Emphasizing the program’s importance for her daughter, Mio, a parent from Japan, explained “we believe that her growth was fostered by both her language progress and the power of non-verbal interactions she had with mainstream students. The detailed content and follow-up of the program were beyond our expectations”.

The integration of the IELP within the 91�Թ��� secondary campus is one of the aspects of the program that is warmly received by the parent community. It provides IELP students with a valuable opportunity to interact with their peers in the mainstream educational setting, fostering a sense of community and belonging. This integration is instrumental in facilitating a smooth transition for students as they progress in their English proficiency and academic journey. “Having transferred from Korea, the IELP was a great program for taking the first step towards attending an international school. The experience has undoubtedly contributed to my son’s development, not only as a language learner but also as a young individual” remarked a parent, highlighting the inclusive and supportive learning environment fostered by 91�Թ���.

The program’s location within the secondary campus promotes continuous interaction and integration with the entire 91�Թ��� community. This sense of community and the constant feedback from parents with children enrolled in the program has been Instrumental in shaping the future direction of the IELP.

The IELP at 91�Թ��� is more than just an English language program; it lays the groundwork for a wider spectrum of educational and personal growth opportunities for children for whom English is a second language. As one parent eloquently stated, “The IELP at 91�Թ��� doesn’t just teach English; it opens doors to a world of opportunities for our children.” This statement encapsulates the essence of the IELP – to unlock each student’s potential and prepare them to become active, confident participants in an internationally-minded community like that of 91�Թ���.

To gain further insights into the IELP program and witness its transformative impact, 91�Թ��� warmly invites you to the upcoming webinar on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at 3:00 PM (ICT). The session will delve into the program’s methodologies, successes, and the vibrant community it nurtures.��

The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) Secondary Campus played host to the much-anticipated International Baccalaureate () Asia Pacific Conference from April 14 to April 16, 2023, amid palpable excitement. We were thrilled to welcome 220 educators, coordinators, and administrators from around the world who shared a commitment to providing their pupils with a high-quality education.

The three-day conference provided an opportunity for attendees to participate in over a dozen workshops led by expert educators who covered a range of topics, including interdisciplinary teaching, language and literature, and more. Attendees came to the event with an open-minded spirit and willingness to share, which allowed them to learn not only from the experts but also from their fellow participants.

As the Head of School, Mrs. Kim Green, aptly expressed while opening the conference:

The attendees learned fresh perspectives, received useful advice, and acquired strategies for improving their teaching methods and enhancing their students’ learning experience.

The IB Conference provided a platform for educators to learn and develop their skills, enabling them to deliver the best pedagogical practices to their students. 91�Թ��� is honored to host such an impactful event, which allows educators to learn from experts within the field of education and equip themselves with the necessary skills to better serve their students.

We look forward to hosting more such impactful events, which allow us to be a lingua franca for sharing our knowledge and experience with the larger education fraternity.

Recently, students from 91�Թ��� had a unique opportunity to attend , a business luncheon organized by the , where they gained insights into what the future holds for businesses and individuals in the country.��

The event featured a panel of experts in finance, technology, politics, and other fields. The guest speakers included Mr. Alex Crane, Managing Director of Knight Frank, Mr. Binh Tran, Co-founder and General Partner of Ascend Vietnam Ventures, Mr. Ismael Pili, Head of Research at VinaCapital, Ms. Sarah Galeski, Counsel at Tilleke & Gibbins, Mr. Ralf Matthaes, Founder/Managing Director at Infocus Mekong Research (IFM), and Mr. Will Ross CFA, Chief Marketing and Distribution Officer at Dragon Capital Group Limited.

The event began with a warm welcome from Winnie Lam, one of the chamber’s board members, who introduced the lineup of industry-leading experts in Vietnam. During the luncheon, the students had the chance to learn about a wide range of topics across various industries and fields. From the potential risks and opportunities that come with investing in different markets and the latest trends to the possible impacts of new technologies across industries and how the real estate landscape will affect business in the year ahead. The students also had the opportunity to ask their own questions and engage in discussions with the panelists. Questions from the students covered sustainability solutions and how they will integrate with business trends in the year ahead, as well as trade with South America and what opportunities might arise in 2023.

��

Dorothy, a student who attended the event, shared her thoughts on the experience,

“I’m very interested in the reality of sustainable businesses. Currently in Vietnam, it’s very hard to implement these businesses as we’re not particularly a developed country yet and wages are still rather low. Iimplementing something such as sustainability generally is very difficult.”

She continued,

“Listening to industry leaders who have had extensive research on these matters, really gave me some great advice and insights. For example, I remember one of the speakers saying that it is more important for us to focus on genuine utility over aesthetic value, and I think that’s very important for sustainable businesses now, especially in Vietnam.”

Adrian, another student who attended the event said,��

“I really learned a lot from this experience. Hearing terms that we hear in class, being used by industry experts in very applicable situations, really helps you understand how they’re used and applied, as well as how we may apply these concepts in our own lives.”

For 91�Թ��� students, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam’s business luncheon provided a valuable learning experience. It gave them the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and predictions in the business world, as well as engage in discussions and network with industry professionals. Attending events like these can help students gain a deeper understanding of the business world and develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their future careers.

This investment in the professional development of its faculty translates into high-quality education for its students, which in turn helps them succeed academically and in their future careers.

Tonya, a literacy specialist, offered her expertise to our team in a series of workshops, planning sessions, and classroom modeling. She helped our faculty to develop effective strategies that accelerate language and literacy development for our multilingual learners.

In recent years, international schools have been preferred by many parents. The reasons behind this popularity are the benefits when studying in a global environment with modern facilities and experienced teaching staff. Moreover, the teaching approach in these schools is reality-driven, giving students not only knowledge but also experiences. However, there are various international schools, and choosing the most appropriate one for your child is not an easy task. This article will provide some key criteria for choosing an international school in Vietnam. Keep scrolling to figure them out!

The definition of the international school

An international school focuses on developing a global academic environment. Its curriculum is often established by prestigious institutions around the world to provide students with a solid and globally recognised education. In addition, international schools often teach both local and foreign students, enabling students to become familiar with many different cultures. Thus, when going to an international school, your child will be more confident and have a global mindset.

There are two types of international schools: Monolingual and Multilingual. Depending on the type, international schools will choose the corresponding curriculum, which is designed according to the educational standards of developed countries such as the US, UK, etc.

4 criteria to choose an international school in Vietnam

To determine whether it is the best choice for your kid, you must review the school based on the following criteria:�� curriculum, staff, facilities, and services it offers.

Programmes at the international school

The curriculum is one of the elements parents should take into account because it represents the teaching style of a school. A learning environment with a proper approach will support students to self-study, actively explore and develop critical thinking. Moreover, the teaching style and the support of the teachers will inspire the student’s passion for learning.

Moreover, the choice of study program also depends on the child’s future orientation. For example, if your child wants to enroll in prestigious universities in the US or UK, you should choose international schools with programs. If you want to develop a global mindset for your child, studying in multilingual international schools will improve your child’s knowledge about cultures around the world.

Furthermore, you should also prioritize international schools with a lot of extracurricular activities. For pupils to be fully grown, a curriculum that incorporates soft skill development programs and extracurricular activities is vital. Students take part in these activities will be more motivated, self-assured, and capable of fulfilling their potential.

Exceptional instructors

Teachers play an important role in the development of students. Therefore, when choosing an international school for your child, you should choose one with exceptional teachers. As they are experienced instructors, they have personalized approaches and exciting activities to help students understand the lesson better. Moreover, these teachers also follow the teaching styles which are globally qualified. Besides their ability and experience, the eligible teachers are passionate about their teaching. Thus, they put a lot of effort into instructing and supporting their students.

Wonderful facilities at the international school

School facilities also have a certain influence on the learning process of students. You should choose international schools that provide full learning tools, modern classrooms, function rooms, and advanced equipment. In addition, the school also needs to have a dining room and a rest area for students. The accompanying facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, spacious playground, etc. are also beneficial.

Support services

When choosing a school for your child, you should pay attention to the support services. A good international school should include a home shuttle service and a team for student counseling. In addition, the school should have sharing sessions between teachers and parents to exchange information about children’s learning progress. Teachers must be concerned for their students and proactively arrange tutoring sessions as needed.�� Support from the school and teachers is essential to identify and address potential problems in student learning and development.

International School Ho Chi Minh City (91�Թ���)

Benefits when participating in Summer Camp in 91�Թ���

Summer Camp in 91�Թ��� is not simply a way to pass the time. At Summer Camp, your child will play, learn and experience. Most importantly, Summer Camps can help your child discover and understand themselves by giving them new hobbies, fostering independence, encouraging creativity, etc. All main benefits of joining Summer Camp in 91�Թ��� will be listed below:

��

• • • Teamwork: Summer Camp includes a variety of team-building activities. Children need to use effective communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills to perform excellent teamwork. Summer Camps can be a great way to gain these life skills.
  • • Confidence and Independence: Educating an independent child involves teaching responsibility, encouraging discovery, and providing a safe environment for a child to make decisions independently. Summer Camp promotes all three of these aspects. Accordingly, a child will be far from their parents while at camp. This is an important time for children to discover their sense of identity. When children explore their interests and understand their own skills and weaknesses, they grow more personality.
  • • Free Play: Every day, children establish the habit of arriving on time at school, completing homework, and then going to bed. Summer Camp is organized with less control than school, giving children the time and chance to play freely. Free play is necessary for a child’s development since it helps them to explore their imaginations and develop creative thinking skills.
  • • Friendship: At the camp, your child can meet other kids. Additionally, they can make new friends through overcoming challenges together.
  • Personal Growth: Summer Camp encourages children to go outside of their comfort zones and explore themselves, which is one of its primary benefits. Children might use this as an opportunity to learn new skills by participating in some things they have never done before.
