VFIS Announcement: Introducing the New Head of School

The VFIS Board of Management is delighted to announce Ms. Sanna Manner as the new Head of School. Ms. Sanna will start at VFIS in July 2021. Ms. Sanna received her master's degree from the University of Helsinki and completed post-graduate studies in advanced educational leadership at the University of Jyväskylä.

Since 2018, Ms. Sanna has been the Principal of the Helsinki Upper Secondary School of Languages with 650 students in Grades 10-12. The school offers three programmes, including a bilingual (English-Finnish) programme, which she helped establish in 2019. From 2010 to 2017, Ms. Sanna was first the Assistant Principal and then the Principal of the International School of Vantaa, a comprehensive school (Grades 1-9) of 500 students. She has a long career in education, including previous posts as Lecturer of Finnish language and literature at the University of Debrecen in Hungary and the University of Cluj, Romania.

VFIS Board of Management feel confident that as an expert in Finnish education and in educational leadership, Ms. Sanna is the right person to lead VFIS into its third year as a unique international school integrating Vietnamese and Finnish education. We hope the whole VFIS community can join us in extending a warm welcome to our new Head of School!

Sincerely,
 

Dr. Vo Hoang Duy
