Dear Parents and Students,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, proudly supported by NLCS International. As the Head of Junior School, I am delighted to be part of a vibrant community that celebrates the rich tapestry of Vietnamese culture while embracing the internationally recognized academic rigor cultivated through over 150 years of history at North London Collegiate School (NLCS).
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, we are committed to providing a pioneering and differentiated educational experience deeply rooted in Vietnamese history, culture, language, and traditions. Our dedication to academic excellence is complemented by our focus on nurturing dual-language and bicultural individuals, equipping them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
We are proud to be a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). This status allows us to implement an inquiry-based, student-centered approach to learning that inspires our students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners. The PYP framework supports our dual-language delivery, seamlessly integrating the Vietnamese language and culture with the English language and the National Curriculum for England. This approach not only enhances language proficiency but also fosters a profound appreciation for both cultures. Our highly skilled teaching team comprises both Vietnamese and English-speaking educators, ensuring that each class benefits from a co-teaching model and maintaining very small student-teacher ratios.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to honor the Vietnamese language and heritage while providing a strong foundation in English. We believe that mastering both languages empowers our students to navigate the complexities of a globalised world. With small class sizes, we ensure that every student receives personalised attention, fostering meaningful relationships with our dedicated educators. Our team is devoted to nurturing not only academic success but also the overall well-being of each child through exceptional pastoral care.
We offer a diverse array of enrichment programs. From STEAM workshops that spark innovation to cultural immersion activities that broaden perspectives, our carefully curated programs cater to a wide range of interests and talents. Through partnerships with organisations like ACT Academy for public speaking, VITTA for table tennis, and Soul Academy for performing arts, we bring world-class instruction to our campus. These collaborations enhance our offerings, providing students with unique opportunities to develop new skills and explore potential passions. Whether it’s coding with Scratch, creating digital content, or participating in the World Scholar’s Cup, our enrichment activities challenge students to think critically, express themselves confidently, and approach learning with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Together, we aspire to build a school community where students can reach their fullest potential—where there are only floors and no ceilings. We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s educational journey and warmly welcoming you into our school community.
Warm regards,
John McEnhill
Head of Junior School
