international school in vietnam

Trends  The trend of international schools has been increasing. The foremost reason is there are big differences between the curriculum of state owned schools and international schools. The learning style of state owned schools is too heavy for children compare to international disciplines. Most of children who study at stated owned school have to take extra classes after hours at their school. Thus they are too busy with the schedule and do not have time to play or relax.

Many Vietnamese children can speak English better than Vietnamese and they lead lives much closer to that of westerners. When Linh returns home from school, the girl always waves and says “Hello me” (Hello, mum) and “Hello ba” (Hello, grandmother). She speaks English very well, but she cannot speak Vietnamese fluently. Le Chau, Linh’s mother, brought Linh to an international kindergarten when she was small and her daughter began learning English in kindergarten. Now she speaks English very well.  Chau sent Linh to an international school because she wanted the child to speak English fluently as an adult. Now Linh goes attends first grade at an international school. She speaks daily with foreign teachers and friends in English.
