Uniforms are purchased at Olympia. The uniform set includes a white shirt (long or short sleeve), a black blazer, a purple polo, a year‑round P.E. kit, and grey bottoms (grey shorts for boys, grey skirts for girls) plus a knitted gilet, black sweater or hoodie. Items provided by outside retailers are black shoes, boots or trainers, black socks, black or skin‑coloured leggings, and a black belt. The dress code requires neat, clean uniforms, clothing appropriate to Olympia and Vietnamese culture, hats only for outdoor activities, hair neat with natural color, no bright or extreme styling, minimal jewelry, and rules on earrings and winter adjustments.
All meals are prepared onsite. Seafood is sourced from Phu Quoc; pork dishes come from GHT farms; vegetables come from Dai Ngan, with ingredients traceable to their sources. The kitchen conducts unannounced farm inspections to ensure quality. The menu rotates with about 200 dishes for two months and includes Vietnamese, European, Asian, and vegan options, plus a Salad Bar and bakery items. Nutritionists plan portions and a physical health check is conducted at the start of each semester to tailor nutrition plans with families.
The Olympia Schools is owned by D.R.E.A.M H.O.U.S.E Education and Training Joint Stock Company. The Dream House Kindergarten preceded Olympia, and the Olympia Schools were established as part of that evolution.
