As we step into this new academic journey, I want to acknowledge the remarkable teachers who have dedicated themselves to shaping our minds and guiding us toward success.
Welcome everyone to the Opening ceremony of the new school year at VFIS. Thank you all for being here today.
Today is an immensely significant day, especially for the Grade 12 students, as it marks our high school graduation. It is also the day we officially become alumni of VFIS, where we have grown every day to proudly stand here as the first generation of students to graduate from the International Baccalaureate Program at VFIS.
In Finland we do give homework, but it is only given when the teacher feels that it is necessary for the students. There is no policy that homework has to be given after every lesson, or even every week.
So, I really enjoy working here also with my working colleagues because it’s really easy to know that they are always willing to learn from you and at the same time, they are really polite colleagues.
History, in the recent common sense, are the stories covered with the dust of time. At VFIS, we think differently: history appears in a single breath of life.
The pedagogical craft was born during the second half of the 19th century in Sweden and Finland.
Home economics is a multidisciplinary field that connects elements such as knowledge, skills, culture, systems and behaviours to enhance quality of life.
In addition to learning geographical facts, we learn presentation skills, critical thinking and interpretation and analysis of geographical data and geomedia.
The Visual Arts department wishes to inspire our students and offer opportunities to broaden horizons, build focus as well as prepare for the future. Arts is essential!
Congratulations Trần Anh Khoa from class 4A on finishing “BIDV Kids Run - For a green life 2023” in third place!
I still remember the moments I’d be asked to introduce myself, and always in those moments, my go to line would be “I am a student of Vietnam Finland International School, I am from Vietnam”.
️Congratulations to students Pham Minh Phuc and Nguyen Nhut Thanh Dai who have just won the prospecting Prize of the Finland - Math competition for Vietnamese students (Eduten).
There are several initiatives available to VFIS students to assist them become more active. We appreciate the School's capacity to integrate academic and artistic pursuits. VFIS is highly concerned with creativity, emotion, and behavior. Teachers are also very kind, which helps to create a comfortable learning environment for students. Our daughter was considerably pleased to be able to effortlessly contribute to that environment.
I appreciate how he can grow without having to compare himself to anyone else. VFIS teachers have the authority to decide on all classroom activities based on the personality of the learner. After each semester, he knows how to re-evaluate himself , and aim for more and greater success.
Maybe the most remarkable thing about a child when he goes to school is that he loves his school, and his class, and he loves going to school on a daily basis. Every time coming home from school, Long Hai is so happy talking about his teachers, friends, and his school activities in a very excited and positive way, and he is looking forward to being at school, he is enthusiastic to integrate into his schooling world, which is the best thing of a student. VFIS changed Long Hai from a shy boy to a more perseverant and confident boy, and he became a person who shares and takes care of others.
I have known VFIS since a meeting with the Finnish Embassy. Finland is not only a happy country, but it is also one of the countries with the greatest education in the world. I am amazed with the space at VFIS; I feel that learning in a vast place would allow kids to expand their minds and stimulate greater creativity.
There are three main reasons. Firstly, knowing the teaching methods and training programs of the VFIS, the family found it suitable for our child. Secondly, this is a School with the company and support of both the government of Finland and Vietnam; moreover, VFIS is the first International School in Vietnam affiliated with a university - Ton Duc Thang University - an excellent University in Vietnam. Thirdly, the Family visited the School facilities, talked to the teachers and then decided to let the child study here.
