Why are real-world events so important to STEAM education?

Your child’s natural desire to learn, experiment and question is fundamentally important to their education and development, so at BIS Hanoi we don’t give our students all of the answers. Instead, we give them some of life’s most interesting questions and challenges, and the tools to tackle them. Our aim for your child is that they learn creativity and resilience throughout their education with us. When they leave school and take their first steps into university and beyond, we want them to do so with the confidence of real global citizens. The question is, how do we teach that?

Understanding Languages and Culture at BIS Hanoi

Learning a language at BIS Hanoi goes beyond memorising words and basic grammar rules. Understanding the culture of the language that our students are learning has become our new teaching goal in the MFL department. Culture knowledge is not only providing the context that is allowing our students to give the right meaning to each new word, it has given a way to understand values, beliefs and customs around the world, without leaving Hanoi!

A Teacher’s Perspective on the Importance of Implementing STEAM in the Classroom

Martin Toner, the STEAM Leader at British International School Hanoi (BIS), explained to Urbanist Hanoi that one group of students designed a diving suit that drew on their knowledge of Science and Chemistry, as well as design and even aesthetics. The project was in response to a partnership program with America’s prestigious MIT University that rests at the heart of the school’s commitment to STEAM.
