An inauguration ceremony for the Khai Hoan Lower and Upper Secondary School - Saigon South (Victoria School) was held on August 12, welcoming more than 1,000 initial members, including students, parents, and representatives from many prestigious educational institutions at home and abroad. The opening marks an important milestone for Victoria School in the pursuit of UNESCO’s Happy School model, opening the first school year with many promises.
As a school with a global reach, Victoria School combines the essence of Vietnamese and British education systems with a positive learning environment and modern student-centered educational methods.
Victoria School, an inter-level school from primary to upper secondary, is proud to be an ideal and comprehensive learning environment under the “Happy School” model powered by UNESCO, with an architectural space in harmony with nature, adhering to green environment criteria and integrating modern facilities while also investing heavily in technology. Its leadership team and teachers have solid experience in the education field, teaching an advanced curriculum in line with the school’s educational philosophy as well as global educational trends, and using active teaching methods towards competency development to help students enjoy learning and confidently explore their interests and passions. It also provides practical experience programs at enterprises that enable students to look at future careers.
The school is built in a unique modern style, in harmony with nature and based on the idea of “Happy Design”. The entire campus and function rooms are built with environmentally-friendly materials, and enriched with green space and natural light that aim to get students joyfully involved in learning to build knowledge, skills, personality, and confidence in their own future.
Ms. Le Thuy My Chau, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said the school was established to help the city’s education and training sector have a new learning environment for children. “I think no matter how adequate the facilities are, the quality of the teaching and learning are important factors,” she said. “Strengthening the school’s brand in subsequent years will depend on the effort of the school board and the teachers and students. I have confidence in the school’s education quality.”
“We believe that Vietnamese children can access a world-class educational environment where they will comprehensively develop knowledge, personality and life skills, while being joyfully involved in learning,” said Principal Le Nguyen Trung Nguyen. “We strive to provide our children with a green learning environment, under a Vietnamese education program combined with the Cambridge International School Curriculum, and to operate in accordance with UNESCO’s Happy School model. The entire school is operated and managed by experienced local and international leaders, committed to providing children and parents with a quality education program at reasonable tuition fees.”
“We are sincerely grateful for having the opportunity to contribute to the Victoria School project,” said Mr. Melvyn Lim from Cambridge University Examinations and Publications. “I believe that the integration of the national curriculum and the Cambridge International Program at Victoria School will not only help students develop their academic abilities but also instill in them the values of resilience, perseverance, responsibility, confidence, and, most importantly, happiness.”
With its team of leading local and international experts in the field of education, Victoria School believes that its approach to education is always being renewed to match the post-graduation orientation of students. With an internationally-standardized educational environment, modern facilities, and affordable tuition fees, Victoria School is the perfect choice for students and parents. Moreover, its students will have the opportunity to gain practical experience at leading enterprises in Vietnam, allowing them to apply what they have learned in a professional environment while preparing for the future.
“As the first students of Khai Hoan - Sai Gon South (Victoria School), we are eagerly looking forward to our new journey at this beautiful school, to reach our personal goals, become excellent students of a happy school, and be global citizens of the future,” said student Yoon Anh Thu.
Victoria School has now officially come into operation, taking the first step on the journey to meeting its commitment to provide the best learning environment and contribute to the development of Vietnamese education.
On a campus of 15,000 sq m, Victoria School is fully equipped with a wide range of classrooms and functional classrooms, science rooms, STEAM facilities, a theater, a stadium, a swimming pool, and a multi-purpose gymnasium, ensuring educational and recreational quality for students at all levels.
