Parents review the first Constructive Thinking school in HCMC
To choose a school for their child, every parent must set for themselves different sets of criteria, visit and learn a lot of schools to make the most suitable choice. Every school has attractive offers, but it is still up to parents to make their children really happy when they come to school or not.
As a mother of two children and a person working in the field of early childhood education, Ms. Ha Ngoc Nga (manager of Tatuschool Montessori Children’s House preschool) believes that choosing a school for her child is ultimately choosing the right product. suitable for your child. Therefore, if you want to decide on a school for your child, first of all, you need to understand who your child is and what he or she needs.
Ms. Ha Ngoc Nga.
Nga’s son is currently studying in grade 3 at the ICS Preschool – Primary School System. I was known about the ICS project when I was about to enter 1st grade, but nearly 2 years after I entered 2nd grade, when the school was completed, I started to move in. On the first day of the tour, the school was still littered with lime and mortar, but when sitting in the hall, there was still the smell of new paint, listening to the school operation team share from the educational philosophy, operation, core values, tools to operate the program… Nga and her husband have registered their children to study.
“It’s not that they say it well, but what the teachers here share really touches on what I’m struggling with to find an educational environment for my children and children at Tatuschool: Education is not about filling, but lighting up. Every baby is an being, and when they can be themselves, they will be active learners and great creators.”Ms. Nga said.
This mother also shared her feelings about this school after a while her son attended. According to her, although it does not have great facilities, ICS has great advantages, suitable for the environment that her family wants.
firstThe school facilities are not too spectacular, but every small corner is optimized according to the needs of the children, not to beautify the eyes of adults. So the school space is small, but the swimming pool, football field, sand field, library, physical activity space… are just enough for the kids to use. The classrooms are designed so that children can connect as much as possible with the teacher and friends, not in a one-way communication style, the tables and chairs are adjusted according to the height of each child. Function rooms such as ICT, cooking, music, school counseling are all small, but quality and true to the style of making the children use!
SecondRegarding the teaching staff, the school has a fairly well-rounded teacher training program according to TET program standards, so the teachers are all well qualified. My children who have been studying for 2 years always talk about their teachers with a very affectionate affection. There are days when I still have to sit all night to make birthday cards for my beloved teacher, I know how much I love my teacher. Open thinking is what I feel from the way teachers in charge of their children work.
Tuesday, about the curriculum: ICS does not follow the style of studying the Ministry’s program in the morning, teaching in English in the afternoon, but a program that is calculated to be balanced and harmonious, the child’s learning is not too heavy but stimulating. Encourage self-learning ability for children. Math, Science, and English will be taught in English, Personality Education and Vietnamese will be taught in Vietnamese. And the special thing is that the school has a full range of extra-curricular subjects: Music, Physical Education, Swimming, Martial Arts, Cooking… so almost outside of school hours, my child doesn’t need to study any other subjects. .
Wednesday, also the best thing is that the curriculum is taught with a very practical and stimulating approach. For example, when the online learning program was deployed, the first thing the teachers here taught their children very carefully was “Internet skills”, how to protect yourself against bad things online, how to handle emotions when having trouble learning online… and then go specifically into each subject.
Or like at the beginning of the school year, the first thing teachers teach is Safety rules in school, how to take the stairs, how to use the swimming pool, how to use the changing room… are all guided. .. The child is inspired to learn and solve problems a lot from such teaching. And the fact is that up to now, my child has formed a rather flexible way of solving problems in life.
Thursday, the school has many projects: Another good highlight of the primary program at ICS is that the learning projects are implemented very well. The children are taught quite carefully about emotional management, school bullying, self-safety, environmental protection… These projects usually last for 1 month and the students themselves are the ones who carry out the projects. From AZ, teachers only play a provoking role. So now my children can honestly talk to their parents about things like “if parents hit their children, then they must have been beaten by their grandparents before. And hitting children is not loving you or wanting to be good. for the child, but only to satisfy the feelings of the parents.”
Ms. Nga also added, from the perspective of an educatorshe is extremely reassured that the operation team of ICS is FAROS Education & Consulting with progressive, capable and eager educators like Ms. Nguyen Thuy Uyen Phuong, Ms. Dang Tuyet Thuong…
“In fact, today’s education in Vietnam is a potential market, besides those who do real quality for children, there are still many places that are “only on the surface” according to ICS. Personally, from the perspective of an educator, the school is: Effective in operational management and good in educational quality.
Finding a school for your child in the current situation is difficult, not easy. A school will be suitable for a target group of parents. Choosing a school for your child is ultimately choosing the right product for your child. Therefore, if you want to decide on a school for your child, first of all, you need to understand who your child is and what he or she needs.”Ms. Nga said.
ICS is the first school in HCMC following the Constructive Thinking Method (Design Thinking), helps children gain knowledge, skills and ability to solve problems on their own through the 4-step sequence of Feel – Imagine – Do – Share.
The Primary program is a bilingual program without overlapping but is a combination of the national standard program and Constructive Thinking method, while the bilingual program of Kindergarten will follow the Multiple Intelligences Method, aiming to the development of different types of intelligence of children.
The school is recruiting students for Kindergarten (from 18 months) and Primary students from grades 1 to 5. Tuition rates are from 7 million VND to 9.5 million VND/month for Kindergarten and from 58 million VND/study. term or more for Primary.
