How can we introduce the beauty of Vietnam to international friends in a creative way? Last week, Grade 5 students at UTS found the answer through the “Multilingual Travel Guides” project. They utilized online research tools to gather information and applied technology platforms like Canva to create travel guidebooks.   This project aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal No. 9, which encourages innovation to support economic growth and improve quality of life.

The early years of a child’s life are a crucial period for shaping their personality and developing essential life skills. Therefore, selecting a suitable and high-quality educational environment is extremely important, laying a solid foundation for comprehensive physical, intellectual, and emotional development. Through this article, parents can join US Vietnam Talent International School (UTS) in discovering the best criteria for choosing a kindergarten, giving children the chance to explore a vibrant world. Important Criteria for Choosing a Kindergarten Location and geographical distance Geographical location is the first factor that parents should consider when choosing a kindergarten for their child. A school near home or the workplace, especially in central city areas, will be convenient for commuting from districts such as District 1, District 5, District 7, District 2, etc. This not only makes drop-offs and pick-ups easier but also saves time and transportation costs. Moreover, selecting a school in a safe area with convenient traffic conditions ensures peace of mind for parents. A well-located school not only helps get to school on time but also makes it easier for parents to participate in school activities with their children. Quality of the educational program A high-quality educational program is the key to unlocking a child’s full potential for comprehensive development. A well-structured curriculum that meets standards and is accredited by reputable organizations provides a solid foundation, allowing children to acquire knowledge in a systematic way. Moreover, parents may consider kindergartens that implement international curricula, enabling children to access a broad knowledge base and develop language skills from an early age. A prime example is the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC), which focuses on fostering global citizenship skills, nurturing creativity, and integrating the finest aspects of international education—equipping children with a strong foundation for the future.
