In an increasingly globalized world, international schools have become an attractive educational option for many Vietnamese parents thanks to their modern learning environment, holistic development approach, and opportunities for global integration. However, many parents still have questions about what defines an international school, how it differs from traditional models, and how to choose the right school for their child’s future. This article will clarify the concept, key features, and practical comparisons to help parents make informed decisions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Understanding International Schools<\/span><\/h2>\n

What is an International School?<\/span><\/h3>\n

An international school is an educational model that follows globally recognized curricula such as Common Core, Oxford, or programs from other countries. These programs are developed based on standards set by reputable international educational organizations, with English or bilingual instruction as the primary medium.<\/p>\n

The essence of an international school lies not in its name but in its academic programs, teaching staff, instructional methods, and globally recognized qualifications<\/strong>. Many international schools also integrate national curricula to ensure both global relevance and alignment with Vietnam\u2019s educational direction.<\/p>\n
