The Montessori International School of Vietnam - Thao Dien Campus

The Montessori International School of Vietnam is member of the internationally respected American Montessori Society (founded in 1960) - MIS is at Step 6 on AMS' Pathway of Continuous School Improvement framework. AMS is one of the leading proponents of the Montessori method. It has member and accredited schools in the US and around the world, with the idea that they collaborate, act ethically, as well as follow Montessori's educational philosophy. The Society also publishes guidance for both Montessori practitioners and parents.

The Montessori International School of Vietnam seeks to enable all its students to achieve their full potential by providing them with a nurturing and stimulating environment, and by being sensitive and responsive to their individual needs. The School strongly emphasizes the development of the child’s qualities and skills that will help them become happy, confident and responsible individuals with an intrinsic motivation for life-long learning.

The Montessori International School of Vietnam (MIS) takes great pride in providing care and education to children in their formative years. Parents expect different things from their child’s first schooling experience. Some parents come to me and say that they would like their child just to be happy. Others expect their child to be academically advanced when leaving our programme.

At MIS, happy experiences and academics are not mutually exclusive. They are components of our curriculum and programme, but they are neither the end nor the beginning of the child’s education. We strive to bring out the whole and best human being in each child. This is achieved from following the Montessori method, which see our endless effort and improvement to meet each child’s growing needs and interests. At all ages, children are allowed to naturally follow their own path, develop their own interest and opinion. They are guided to realise their own strength and weakness and learn how to improve themselves.

In a fast changing world where information and knowledge can be obtained through different channels, where our children will grow up with wider usage of Artificial Intelligence, academic abilities alone are not enough to help them succeed. At MIS, children learn how to study, establish a love of learning and the ability to think outside the box, and develop their empathy and emotional intelligence. These are important attributes and skills that will enable them in the future to embrace challenges, be proactive to create and make necessary changes that bring betterment and happiness to themselves and others throughout their lives.

For our infants and toddlers, we incorporate the globally recognised Resources for Infant Educarers approach through an environment that is physically safe, cognitively challenging and emotionally nurturing. Care and relationship is part of the curriculum. At 3-6yrs, our children enjoy and benefit from the Montessori education, which offers as a natural way to learn and absorb the world around them.
