It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Viet Nam Tinh Hoa officially opened in August 2022. The school is a member of Embassy Education, an educational group operating in Vietnam. It was founded on the principles of North London Collegiate School (NLCS) in the UK, an academic institution with over 175 years of history. The campus operates as part of the global NLCS International network, designed to bring traditional British educational values to Vietnam while remaining deeply rooted in local culture and language.
The school community frequently comes together to celebrate a blend of academic milestones and local cultural traditions. Students and families participate in major traditional Vietnamese festivals, such as the annual Tết Celebration featuring hands-on activities like Bánh Chưng making. The community also gathers to support students during key academic and extracurricular showcases, including the PYP Exhibition, summer programs, and the end-of-year graduation ceremonies.
The school does not explicitly publicize a formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) on its website, but it actively promotes a "Working in Partnership with Parents" framework. Formal engagement occurs through scheduled parent-teacher consultations and dedicated information meetings. Beyond academics, parents are consistently invited to participate in the school community by attending student plays, concerts, receptions, charity events, and sporting fixtures throughout the academic year.
Viet Nam Tinh Hoa by North London Collegiate School in Ho Chi Minh City offers a dual-language education combining the National Curriculum for England with the IB Primary Years Programme. Catering to students from Early Years through Middle School, the curriculum ensures instruction in both English and Vietnamese. A defining feature is its "Walking Campus" model in District 3. This urban initiative integrates nearby partner institutions, such as the Soul Institute of Arts and Vietnam Contemporary Visual Arts Academy, as direct extensions of the school's physical footprint. Students regularly access these external venues for specialized arts and sports training. The daily schedule includes an extensive enrichment program with activities like robotics, printmaking, and public speaking. Supported by the North London Collegiate School framework, Viet Nam Tinh Hoa focuses on bilingual proficiency, pastoral care, and active community participation for all enrolled pupils.
