Viet Nam has always produced extraordinary minds. The question has never been about the children, but whether a school existed that was worthy of them.
Its vision, mission, and values introduce the foundation of Viet Nam Tinh Hoa — a boutique K–7 school with a deliberate pathway to full K–12 expansion, built around the child rather than the system, grounded in IB academic rigour, and shaped through a learning model developed in active partnership with Regenerating Education and Harvard Project Zero, with academic collaboration from Stanford d.school and MIT Media Lab.
To build the school Viet Nam has always deserved: rooted in identity, rigorous in learning, and designed around every child’s potential.
Viet Nam has always been home to young people with remarkable ability, curiosity and ambition. At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, we believe every child deserves a school that recognises that potential, strengthens their sense of identity, and builds a pathway for them to grow in ways that are right for who they are.
We envision a learning community where Vietnamese students grow with confidence in who they are, strong academic foundations, and the readiness to engage with and contribute meaningfully to the world.
To discover what is extraordinary in every Vietnamese child and build a world-class learning pathway around that potential.
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, every student is recognised as an individual, with distinct strengths, ways of learning and possibilities for growth.
We are committed to building personalised learning pathways that strengthen academic foundations, nurture identity and character, and develop the confidence, thinking skills and global competence students need to move forward with purpose and shape their own direction.
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, education begins with a simple belief: every child carries distinct potential, and the role of school is to recognise, challenge and develop that potential with intention and care.
We believe Vietnamese identity and global readiness are not opposing ideas. Identity is the foundation from which students come to understand themselves, connect meaningfully with others, and step into the wider world with confidence.
We believe academic rigour should expand a child’s thinking, not constrain it. Students should be encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas deeply, create boldly, and apply what they learn to meaningful challenges in the world around them.
Above all, education begins with knowing each student well. When educators understand a child’s strengths, needs, ways of learning and possibilities for growth, learning no longer follows a single pathway for everyone. It becomes a purposeful journey designed around the individual child.
When children are known, challenged and supported in the right way, they do not simply prepare for the future. They begin to shape it.
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa – The Futures School, education is rooted in five enduring Vietnamese values: Humanity (Nhân), Duty (Nghĩa), Honour (Lễ), Wisdom (Trí) and Integrity (Tín). Together, these values guide how students learn, connect with others, make decisions and grow into capable individuals with strong character.
Caring for others with empathy and compassion.
Students learn to recognise the feelings and needs of others, listen with understanding, and make positive contributions to the people and communities around them.
Understanding what is right and acting with responsibility.
Students are encouraged to consider the impact of their choices, stand by what they believe is right, and take responsibility for their actions.
Showing respect through words, actions, and interactions with others.
Students learn to treat others with respect, appreciate different perspectives, and understand their responsibilities towards their families, school, and wider community.
Seeking understanding through curiosity and thoughtful judgement.
Students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, reflect on their learning, and apply their knowledge to make informed decisions.
Being trustworthy and staying true to one’s word.
Students understand the value of honesty, learn to honour their commitments, and build trust through consistent actions.
