WORLD-CLASS FULL ENGLISH EARLY YEARS EDUCATION
WITH NORTH EUROPEAN APPROACH TO LEARNING
Welcome to SmartKids International - Early Years Education
Learning and teaching in the early years is holistic and individualized, focusing on cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth and well-being. Integrating the International Baccalaureate (IB) – Primary Years Program (PYP)* framework enriches our Play-based Early Years Education program while fostering a global perspective, promoting inquiry-based learning, and cultivating essential skills for lifelong success.
We develop crucial life skills for children during their early years.
Inquiring Through Play
Play is a powerful way for children to make sense of the world around them. At our IB school, inquiring through play allows children to investigate, experiment, and discover at their own pace, fostering a lifelong passion for learning.
Hands On Learning
To support our concept-based learning, we conduct various learning activities that help students to connect what they have learned to practical experiences.
Excursion
Our excursions to different places can broaden young-learners’ horizons and expose them to new environments, ideas and ways of life.
Expert Visit
Meeting experts can inspire young-learners by showing them the possibilities and opportunities in their chosen field.
Safe & Stimulating Learning Environment
Our learning environment is designed to promote exploration and hands-on interaction with surroundings. As an International Private School in Vietnam, we prioritize both physical and emotional safety while providing engaging and enriching experiences.
Dynamic Classrooms
Our dynamic classrooms create a more enriching and effective learning environment that can benefit students academically and personally.
Playground
Our spacious playgrounds allow students to enjoy lots of riding toys which develop their physical and social skills.
Outdoor Learning Spaces
The Outdoor Learning Spaces builds a bond between students and nature and provides meaningful exploration in learning.
Young-Learn Agency
This is all about empowering the young-learners to have a voice, make choices, and take action in their learning and environment. It's about providing them developmentally appropriate opportunities to influence their learning journey. They develop key skills like self-regulation, initiative, and independence, which are essential for success in school and beyond.
Learning Reflections
By presenting their achievements, young-learners can share their knowledge, reflect on their learning journey, and understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
Student-Led Talks (SLT)
In these talks our young-learners develop their communication skills by explaining their learning to parents, articulating their experiences, feelings and listening to feedback.
Three-Way Talks (3WT)
These 3-party talks involve student, parents and teachers in exchanging information and working on collaborating to support the students learning process. Importantly, the child has an important role to set their own early learning goals and be co-responsible for it.
Life Skill Readiness
The world is constantly changing, and as it does, so do the skills required to succeed. One of the key components of the International Baccalaureate School curriculum is the Approaches to Learning (ATL) framework, focusing on:
Thinking Skills
Students can improve their critical thinking skills by analyzing information, evaluating arguments, and making informed decisions.
Communication Skills
We value our students’ voices and encourage them to express their ideas and thoughts. Students learn to communicate effectively by participating in class discussions or delivering presentations.
Research Skills
Students enhance their skills in research by conducting independent research projects. They learn to analyze, synthesize, and cite information.
Self-management Skills
Students learn how to prioritize tasks, manage time effectively, stay organized, set achievable goals, and maintain their overall well-being.
Social Skills
Students improve the ability to effectively interact with others. They learn to build and maintain positive relationships and navigate different social situations.
By choosing SmartKids International, a leading IB-PYP Early Years Education school, you provide your child with an education that nurtures inquiry, creativity, and adaptability—key attributes for success in the 21st century.
