Four criteria for choosing a school for singer Nam Khanh’s children

Information shared by singer Nam Khanh at the seminar The SACE Journey – Unlocking Gen Z number 5, the topic of choosing a school for children, broadcast on VnExpressApril 19.

The male singer’s family had two years in the US. The time living and working in the country had a great impact on how he chose a school for his children after returning to Vietnam.

“It took us a long time to find schools for our children, especially international schools, to avoid breaking the learning rhythm because when they went there, they used English more. On the other hand, educational methods and facilities. .. of international schools is similar to the school in the US that I used to study”, said singer Nam Khanh.

Due to the consideration of international schools, the priority of the father of two is the financial ability to ensure the long-term process. Next, he is interested in facilities – the means to help students improve their ability to absorb, absorb and experience knowledge, and at the same time practice and perfect the necessary skills during their study at the university. school. “A large, clean school, full of playgrounds, places to practice sports, a library with many rich books … will help students have more fun going to school,” he said.

Two years for his children to study in an educational environment in the US, Nam Khanh was impressed with the educational method here. Although it is an American public school, each class is only about 20 children. The facilities are modern with a standard football field, large natural space, children are not required to study in class. “When it comes to lunch break, the teacher will “pull” the students out of the classroom to play, sunbathe, and the children don’t have to line up according to the framework, so they always feel that every day coming to class is a happy day,” he said. told.

With modern facilities, meeting the diverse needs of children, the school also focuses on art subjects. He said that the oldest child in first grade, seeing that his siblings in grade 3 played the lute, flute, violin, drums, etc., liked it very much and chose to learn a musical instrument.

“Learning art subjects from an early age will help children develop artistic souls from a young age so that humanity is more developed,” he said. “In this regard, I find most international schools in Vietnam are doing well and meeting my expectations.”

Another important factor that Nam Khanh pays attention to in the process of choosing a school for her child is the level of teachers. International schools have 100% English-speaking foreign teachers, but that means uniform quality. “For example, a teacher from the US will be different from a teacher from the Philippines in terms of teaching methods, behavioral culture, how to communicate and connect with parents…”, he gave an example. Even to be sure, he even went to the school to directly contact and feel about the teacher before he confidently gave his child to the school.

When his son studied in the US, Nam Khanh said that the school regularly organizes exchanges between the family and the school with the aim of creating the best conditions for the child to develop according to his or her potential. These meetings sometimes take place on a weekly basis, in the form of tea and conversation very comfortable, not stressful to compare the children with each other. Even, all will sit together, find solutions for how the child develops, not the achievement of the school.

“In Vietnam, I want to find a good environment for my children, at least close to the environment they were studying before so that they can develop freely. I will not interfere with their studies but just observe. stay outside and adjust,” the singer said.

After studying the financial flow, facilities, and teacher quality, the father of two said the next step is to talk to his children about the new school, and then check back to see if the schools offer them. meet your child’s desired needs to make appropriate adjustments.
