Commitment to Excellence in Learning and Teaching

At UTS, we place excellence in learning and teaching at the heart of every student experience.
  • 1. STATEMENT OF HIGH QUALITY LEARNING AND TEACHING
  • 2. ACADEMIC SUPPORT

    • UTS is building 21st century LEARNERS and TEACHERS through our core values of Contribution, Courage, Creativity, Integrity, Respect, and Lifelong Learning.

    As an international bilingual school, UTS strives for all members of our community – students, teachers and staff – to become lifelong learners who are constantly working to become the best versions of themselves. We believe that high quality learning and teaching should enable learners of all ages and backgrounds to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. We seek to create learners that are multi-lingual, scientifically minded, innovative and ambitious. UTS does this by building our school’s guiding statements and curricula around UTS’ six core values: creativity, contribution, courage, integrity, lifelong learning, and respect.

    • Creativity means giving our students the space to define themselves as special and unique, promoting meaningful learning experiences to bring out all the talents of every student.
    • Contribution means making sure our students learn about where they come from and that they believe and understand why giving back to their communities – at school, local, national and international levels – is one of the most important aspects of building a healthy society.
    • Courage means allowing our students to self-actualize and take risks, standing up for the things they believe in and challenging the status quo. It means overcoming our own limitations while staying true to who we are.
    • Integrity means building a willingness in our students to accept their faults and grow from them, being truthful, authentic and reliable. Our teachers and staff act as role models for the behavior we expect of all members of our community.
    • Lifelong learning means fostering an intrinsic value in education for our students and teachers that arouses our interest in our community and the greater world we want to build
    • Respect means promoting an acceptance of multi-culturalism and of people that are different than us. It means respect for the environment, for our communities and for building social justice.

    The UTS curriculum is made up of a combination of subjects and skills set forth in the Vietnamese education system as well as the British and American education systems. Our teachers and staff demonstrate a deep knowledge and understanding of the subjects they teach, as well as the expected outcomes for our students. They take a holistic approach to building and developing our students’ personal, social, and academic lives.

    In order to further support our students reach the desired levels of achievement, UTS has started the academic support program. We understand that some students may have trouble adapting to the rigors of our program. We also understand that many of our students come from different backgrounds and have different skillsets, which is to be expected in all learning environments. However, we still want our programs to be accessible to all of our students, regardless of their final outcomes or skill levels.

    Thus, the academic support program has been designed to make the curriculum more accessible to the students who are behind the achievement outcome of their respective year level in English Language acquisition. These students will be placed into small groups of 4-5 students to support the students with more foundational English knowledge, allowing for more personalized instructions to help the students achieve their goals.

    We know that all UTS-ers are more than capable of growing, and we want to focus on both the growth of the students as well as the outcome. The growth process gives the students the confidence and courage to participate and take part in classes, helps their achievement and overall learning processes. This program will provide students who have struggled in classes the opportunity to catch up to their other peers in a safe, judgment free zone where the teachers are specially trained to deal with struggling students. In the end, our hope is that this program will help bring your student in line with where we all want and expect them to be!
